In April 2013, USDA NIFA released their revised research terms and conditions/agency terms and conditions. These terms and conditions introduce a new requirement for responsible conduct of research (RCR) on USDA NIFA awards.
The UW has implemented a program to address the USDA NIFA RCR requirements. This program will require participants to complete RCR training that is compliant and specific to USDA NIFA. For a quick overview, please click here.
Principal investigators, co-investigators and participants from USDA NIFA awards must take the "Responsible Conduct of Research" course in Canvas. This includes, but is not limited to, undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and sub-recipients.
The VCR will establish participants subject to the training requirements. Once you have been notified by the VCR you need to comply with the requirement, you can follow the steps below to complete the Training. Once notified of the requirement, an individual will have 30 days to complete the training module in Canvas. The training will be valid for three years.
The VCR has created look-up tools to assist PIs and RCR Coordinators with tracking of completion requirements. Please login with your UW NetID and password.
For specific questions or a more detailed explanation of the policy and required training please see our FAQs. If you still have questions, please feel free to contact Heather McFadden at heather.mcfadden@wisc.edu.
