[Plsfaculty] Important NSF Information FW: New Grant Policy- Requirement for Instruction in the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR)

[Donna-Rae Marquez]

Hello All,

 

To those faculty who will or planning to receive NSF grants after January 4,
2010 - there is a new compliance policy if you will fund undergraduate
students, graduate students or Post Doctoral Researchers with funds from
these grants.

 

The Undergraduate Student employees, Graduate Student Employees and Post
Doctoral Research Employees but take must complete an online training
program and participate in one additional workshop, course, or lecture for
Responsible Conduct of Research.

 

Please see the email below.  

 

When a new NSF grant is awarded, I will send a reminder to the faculty about
this compliance regulation.  When a student (undergraduate or graduate) or a
Post Doctoral Researcher is employed - Joy or Laura will send this notice to
the faculty and employee.

 

As of January 25, 2010 NIH will adopt a similar compliance policy.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Cheers

Donna-Rae

Subject:    New National Science Foundation grant policy: Requirement

for

            Instruction in the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR)

 

 

On January 4, 2010, the National Science Foundation instituted a new policy

requiring all students and postdoctoral researchers supported by new NSF

grants to complete training in the Responsible Conduct of Research.  To meet

these requirements, all students (graduate and undergraduate) and

postdoctoral researchers, supported by an NSF grant awarded after January 4,

2010, must complete an online training program and participate in one

additional workshop, course, or lecture.  The online training course is

available through CITI and is offered at no cost to research staff, faculty

and students associated with the University of Arizona.

 

Please direct your faculty, staff, and students to the Office for the

Responsible Conduct of Research website (www.vpr.arizona.edu/compliance) for

instructions on accessing the CITI training and opportunities for additional

training.  We will continue to develop our tools and programs to assist

programs and departments in meeting these new requirements.

 

Please note:  The National Institutes of Health (NIH) have also announced

new training requirements to go into effect January 25, 2010.  A separate

announcement will follow once these requirements are finalized.

 

For questions related to RCR training, please contact Tina Tarin, Training

Coordinator, at (520) 626-5851 or tina.tarin at arizona.edu.
