IRB CITI Checker

About

IRB CITI Checker helps IRB staff verify CITI Human Subjects training compliance
for the research personnel listed on a Cayuse submission — fully offline, with no
AI and no data leaving your browser.

The extension reads the personnel and CITI training records already shown on a
Cayuse submission, evaluates each person against a set of Human Subjects training
compliance rules, and — when there are gaps — drafts a ready-to-send notification
for the Principal Investigator. Everything runs locally in your browser.

WHY USE IT
Manually cross-checking every investigator's CITI training status on a Cayuse
submission is slow and error-prone. This extension does it in one click and
explains exactly what is missing for each person, so you can return a submission
with clear, specific guidance.

- Private by design. No network requests, no API keys, no telemetry. The
  extension only reads the page you are already looking at and stores its results
  locally in your browser.
- Works at any institution. Cayuse is a single vendor, so the extension supports
  every *.cayuse.com instance out of the box — no configuration needed.
- Instant, deterministic notifications. Deficiency messages are produced from an
  editable template, not a language model, so the output is consistent and
  reviewable.
- No accounts, no setup. Nothing to sign up for and no API keys to configure —
  just install and scan.

FEATURES
- One-click compliance scan of all listed study personnel on a Cayuse submission
  form.
- Per-person evaluation with plain-language deficiency descriptions and
  recommended actions (missing training, expired training, pending sync, and
  more).
- Automatic home-institution vs. external classification, auto-detected from the
  Cayuse web address, with a manual override in Settings.
- An editable, mail-merge notification template for the PI that pulls in the
  specific issues found. Copy it and paste it into Cayuse's "Missing information
  or materials" field or an email.
- A side panel that lives alongside Cayuse — no copying data between tabs.

HOW IT WORKS
- The content script reads personnel and CITI training data from the Cayuse page
  you are viewing.
- The service worker evaluates compliance, resolves your home institution, and
  renders the notification from your template.
- The side panel displays results and the editable draft.

No step contacts any external service. All processing happens on your device.

PRIVACY
The extension processes only the data already visible on your Cayuse submission
page, keeps it in your browser's local storage, and sends it nowhere.
