Monitoring and Progress

895 registered through NMRCD

393 have started their training

98 have completed the Basic Module

6 institutions are establishing Education Policies with the CITI as their course

Concerns

Slow implementation of training requirement in Peru at institutional level

Not enough motivation to complete training, overworked research personnel

A few technical difficulties accessing the system

Initial access page in English and with information requirements not applicable to Peru

Some tests still in English

Goals and Future Plans

Provide updated educational and training tools to investigators and regulatory bodies

• Sustainability and dissemination of CITI modules in the region

• Develop and apply a survey to assess impact of CITI PERU training at institutional and at national level

• Complete modules applicable to Peru and other Latin American countries
