As you may know, the Office of Research Integrity Assurance (ORIA) is no longer under the GTRC/GTARC organization, but is now included in the EVPR office. If you are sending email to associates in ORIA, and you are using the GTRI/GTRC mail system, you may find that your messages are not delivered. This is likely due to your mail client cache. If you experience bounced messages when sending to ORIA emails, please clear your auto-complete cache in your local Outlook client (e.g. https://its.unl.edu/emailhome/clear-e-mail-cache). After clearing your cache - resend the message. If you still receive a bounce back or if you do not hear back from ORIA, please contact us via phone or Teams to make sure your message was received.
Online export training is now available via Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI).
NOTE: If you are affiliated with Georgia Tech, you MUST use Georgia Tech Single Sign On (SSO) login.
This page includes updates and FAQs specific for GTRI. You may wonder with the new slogan of “One Georgia Tech” why there is a separate export page for GTRI.
At Georgia Tech we have one Export Control program for all activities at or by the Institute but as you can imagine, there are different systems, procedures, and portfolios for Resident Instruction (RI) and Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI). Over the next few months, you may notice changes in the export program, separating RI & GTRI training, to better facilitate increase compliance while reducing administrative burden for our faculty, staff, and students!
We no longer offer GTRI specific export training in GTRI Locations with customized the materials for GTRI. Please check Quest LMS system for details about online training.
We have received a few questions about the ongoing requirements for Export Control Training of GTRI personnel and have developed the FAQs below.
WHO MUST ATTEND?
Are GTRI personnel (faculty, staff and students) are required to attend Export Control Training?
All GTRI personnel who potentially have access to Export Controlled data/information/materials or are responsible for the administration of export controlled activities (such as financial managers, coordinators) are required to attend annual training.
Is the GTRI Export Compliance Training different from the Academic / Resident Instruction training? Are the regulations different?
No, the regulations are Federal Law and are the same for everyone. While we are all One GT, at times GTRI is different in terms of the environment, systems, resources and research portfolio. Export training can be completed via Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI). Be sure to use your Georgia Tech Single-Sign-On (SSO) when you create an account or login.
REGISTERING FOR TRAINING
Have the In Person training requirements changed?
YES. While older TCPs may state that you are required to attend training in person – we have changed all Export Control training to a web-based format. Export training can be completed via Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI). Be sure to use your Georgia Tech Single-Sign-On (SSO) when you create an account or login.
Where/how do I register for training?
In efforts to reduce the number of systems GTRI personnel have to use for registering and tracking training data, you may enroll in CITI training through the Quest LMS system you already use for your other GTRI Training. Only GTRI personnel can enroll in Quest LMS so this should reduce the confusion about which classes are for Resident Instruction (RI) or Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI). You can also access the Export training directly via Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI). Make sure you use your Georgia Tech Single-Sign-On (SSO) when you create an account or login.
I am located at a GTRI field office or do not work in the Atlanta area. How do I attend the in-person training?
You can complete your export training remotely via the web via Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI). Make sure you use your Georgia Tech Single-Sign-On (SSO) when you create an account or login.
How can I check my training data?
GTRI personnel can check their training data in Quest LMS.
FREQUENCY
How often is training required?
The training is an Annual requirement. As described in the GTRI Master TCP, all GTRI personnel that work on or have access to export controlled information are required to participate in annual training. While the frequency has not changed and remains an annual requirement, the course offerings and platforms available have changed over the past few years and will continue to change to meet the needs of the Institute. The goal of the training is to educate and provide awareness to GTRI personnel of their responsibilities to safeguard and prevent inadvertent or inappropriate disclosure of controlled items, information or technical data.

Is this a New training requirement?
No, the annual training requirement has not changed since 2009. As described in the GTRI Master TCP, all GTRI personnel that work on or have access to export controlled information are required to participate in annual training. While the frequency has not changed and remains an annual requirement, the course offerings and platforms available have changed over the past few years and will continue to change to meet the needs of the Institute.
