NSF Requirement for Students and Postdoctoral Fellows for Training in Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) and Tutorial
Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training is mandated by an NSF ruling that became effective January 4, 2010. UA must certify on every proposal submission to NSF that a program is in place and available to students and postdoctoral fellows. To meet this requirement, the university has subscribed to the online RCR training program provided by the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI).
Principal Investigators will be responsible for insuring all NSF-funded students and post-docs have taken their training.
To assist students and post-docs in complying with this NSF mandate for training in RCR, ORSSP is providing a tutorial on navigating the online course that UA is using to meet this requirement. View the pdf tutorial HERE.
If you have any questions, please contact your ORSSP Grants Coordinator.
