NSF Policy:
“Implementation Plan: Effective January 4, 2010, NSF will require that, at the time of proposal submission to NSF, a proposing institution's Authorized Organizational Representative certify that the institution has a plan to provide appropriate training and oversight in the responsible and ethical conduct of research to undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers who will be supported by NSF to conduct research. ... institutions are responsible for verifying that undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers supported by NSF to conduct research have received RCR training.”
Identifying the TraineesNIH Policy:“NIH requires that all trainees, fellows, participants, and scholars receiving support through any NIH training, career development award (individual or institutional), research education grant, and dissertation research grant must receive instruction in responsible conduct of research. This policy will take effect with all new and renewal applications submitted on or after January 25, 2010, and for all continuation (Type 5) applications with deadlines on or after January 1, 2011. This Notice applies to the following programs: D43, D71, F05, F30, F31, F32, F33, F34, F37, F38, K01, K02, K05, K07, K08, K12, K18, K22, K23, K24, K25, K26, K30, K99/R00, KL1, KL2, R25, R36, T15, T32, T34, T35, T36, T37, T90/R90, TL1, TU2, and U2R. This policy also applies to any other NIH-funded programs supporting research training, career development, or research education that require instruction in responsible conduct of research as stated in the relevant funding opportunity announcements.”

Back to the Pyramid…..
• RCR Online Training is expected for anyone that does research or scholarly activity at CSU
• 70% to pass• Not dependent upon funding mechanism • Assume Compliance/Information not tracked• Mentoring is expected
Back to the Pyramid….
• Standard being met by some departments• Departments don’t have discipline specific RCR courses• Active Compliance/Tracking • RCR activities are evaluated
We Aim for the Gold
• Some departments have achieved this level• Create ethical based research culture/less of a
compliance mentality • Discipline specific RCR training• Increase number of departments to Gold level
