NSF Now Requires Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research Training
Effective with proposals submitted on or after July 31, 2023, the National Science Foundation (NSF) requires:
- Faculty and senior personnel complete Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research (RECR) training. Since 2011, all undergraduates, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers supported by NSF to conduct research have been required to complete RECR training; NSF is extending that requirement to faculty and other senior personnel supported on a proposal. Consistent with a similar training requirement from USDA NIFA, faculty and other senior personnel at UNH supported on a proposal will need to complete UNH’s web-based RCR instructional modules (available here).
-
All personnel supported on a grant receive mentor training and mentorship. REEO is working with other units on campus, including the graduate school and the office of engagement and faculty development, to offer mentoring training that will meet the NSF requirement.
UNH’s plan to meet the existing NSF RCR training requirement is available here . Contact Julie Simpson in Research Integrity Services with questions.
