Do you wonder what is the Revised Common Rule and what those federal guidelines mean to you as an investigator? This session will provide (1) an overview of the Revised Common Rule and the major regulatory changes focused on protecting human subjects involved in research. The session will also highlight (2) a brief history of the Common Rule revisions, (3) reasons for the changes, (4) what those changes mean to investigators engaged in human subjects research, (5) what is and is not human subjects research (HSR), and (6) what federal guidelines apply for research to meet an exempt, expedited or full board review (45 CFR 46). If you conduct human subjects research, this session is for you!

So, you’ve found a proposal funding opportunity that fits your research interest but there is 30+ pages in the solicitation. Yikes! Have no fear because ORSP wants to sit down with you in this training session to point out the need-to-know items you should look for when reviewing a proposal solicitation for major federal agencies, such as NSF, NIH, and DOE just to name a few. Program Officers are your friends. Things to look out for: •Eligibility • Submission deadline • Institution limitations • Required documents needed for submission • How to submit the proposal • Limitation on duration and funding amount • Limitation on F&A (mainly non-federal agencies) • Page limitations • Language used for Letters of Collaboration • Letters of collaboration vs Letters of support • and Type of budget to submit.

RESEARCH NOW: PI Responsibilities in Post-Award Administration

While the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) is responsible for support related to the financial administration of contracts and grants, the Principal Investigator (PI) is ultimately responsible for the proper oversight of project supported activities. We work together on proper oversight of operations, reporting standards, compliance requirements, and budget restrictions. This session will provide detailed guidance for the PI to ensure effective and efficient stewardship of sponsored funding.
