Registration details

We offer most courses free of charge to NIH staff. If there is a charge, the cost will be listed in the tuition section. NIH staff should obtain appropriate approval before registering to attend a seminar. Contractors are welcome to attend when space is available, the session is closely related to their current assignment, and when doing so is in the best interest of NIH. To view a complete list of courses, register for current FY2011 classes, join our CIT Training Mailing list, and view your transcript or current application status, visit our website, http://training.cit.nih.gov.

Teach a course yourself

The CIT Training Program strives to keep abreast of the needs of the NIH community with the help and expertise of volunteers who are willing to share their knowledge with their peers. We are happy to extend this opportunity to NIH employees and contractors, as well. We'll work with you to ensure that there are no contract limitations or other restrictions that may prevent our students from benefiting from your knowledge.

Feedback appreciated

This past year, CIT Training debuted a new website, online course completion certificates, and electronic surveys. In an effort to increase the quality of the program, we request that anyone attending a course take the time to complete the brief survey. This would be greatly appreciated.
