CITI Program Instructions

The 3Rs Collaborative has created a 3Rs Certification Course. (Refinement, Reduction, Replacement)

The online course is hosted on the CITI Program. There is not a charge/fee for learners registered with a University of Washington email address. (The fee is being covered by UW’s Office of Animal Welfare.)

If you are writing a protocol, designing experiments and procedures, or performing hands-on work with animals, this is a course strongly encouraged.

There are many other courses related to animal research that are also available.

Users with UW NetIDs

UW uses Single Sign On (SSO) with the CITI Program. Login using your UW NetID and password.

SSO CITI Login

If you are logging into UW CITI for the first time, your CITI account will be automatically created based on your UW NetID credentials.

If you previously created a CITI account, your old CITI account has been automatically merged with your SSO login if possible. This means that when you login using your UW NetID and password, you should see your account information from your original CITI registration, including any previously completed courses. If you do not see your previously completed courses, you can still access them by logging in on the CITI website using your CITI username and password. To merge 2 existing accounts, email support@citiprogram.org for assistance.
