ATTENTION STUDENTS and POSTDOCTORAL SCHOLARS: New NSF Requirement for Responsible Conduct of Research Training

As part of the 2007 America COMPETES Act, the National Science Foundation (NSF) is requiring that all undergraduate and graduate students as well as post doctoral research fellows supported on NSF funded projects receive training in the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR). For proposals submitted on or after January 4, 2010, institutions must certify that students and post-docs have received such training. Please note that the requirement does not affect currently funded research; however, proposals submitted or due on and after January 4, 2010 that fund students and post docs are affected.

The Office of Research & Innovation along with the Graduate School have partnered with the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) to offer RCR training to individuals at USF. CITI provides on-line training modules and can be accessed at https://www.citiprogram.org/.
