“This was such a great, quick and easy approach to providing our partners the necessary training to be successful in our spaces.  We followed up with them to discuss any questions they may have had from the training within the context of our project.  The in-person training was great because it helped develop the team.  However, the online version has really moved us quickly.”

“I found it to be very user friendly and translatable for people who are not engaged in research on a regular basis.”

“When we started this project, we were looking for an alternative to Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI Program) and we were looking for a program in Spanish. We reached out to CIRTification… Without these materials we could not have trained our community recruiters. We also used a draft letter from CIRTification that we could submit to our IRB. Because our IRB relies on CITI we found this letter helpful to get ‘buy-in’ from our IRB.”
