Research Certificate Test Program

The Research Coordinator Plus (RC+) program was developed as an education and training program geared towards new research coordinators, those new to UIC, and more experienced research coordinators. 

This program consists of five components (CITI Training, Overview of Clinical Research, UIC Lectures & Resources, Best Practice Hour Seminars, and Master Classes). Within each component are different requirements. Those enrolled in the RC+ Program must complete all twenty requirements to finish the certificate program. Courses, as they are made available, will go under the requirements. To satisfy a requirement, enrollees must complete at least one course per requirement

Please view the table below to see the list of components and requirements. Currently available courses will be visible under their respective requirements. Upon finishing a requirement, you will be marked as completed for it. Once all requirements under each of the components are satisfied, you will be issued a certificate of completion for the RC+ program.

The CITI Training and Overview of Clinical Research contain external courses. Once completed, please email the certificate to ccts-training@uic.edu.



This program has 15 requirements to complete. You may enroll in the program even though not all requirements currently have a course option available.
