Responsible Conduct of Research Training

**REQUIRED TRAINING for UTSA research staff supported by NIH & NSF Funds**

Session I – Wednesday, January 13, 2021 (1:00 pm – 5:00 pm)

Session II –Thursday, January 14, 2021 (8:30 am – 12:30 pm)

Note: Participation for both sessions are required.

All trainees, fellows, participants, and scholars receiving support through NIH and NSF awards are required to complete the 8 hours of training in the responsible conduct of research, or ethical and professional behavior in scientific research. Because you receive funding from NIH or NSF, you are responsible for ensuring that your staff completes this requirement. The training requirement must be fulfilled within the first year after an award has been made and before the student or research, staff member completes or departs the project. The training requirement must be renewed every four years and after a change in status, such as from undergraduate to graduate student.

Note: Faculty are always welcome, but not required to participate in the training. It is intended for students, post-doctoral and laboratory staff.
