UMBC must stay in compliance with the National Science Foundation's (NSF) training requirement for Responsible Conduct of Research  - see Dr. Geoff Summers' memo [http://www.umbc.edu/research/NSF-RCR%20Requirement%20Memo.pdf] as a reminder of this requirement.

As mentioned in Dr. Summers' memo, all students or postdoctoral fellows who are supported by an NSF award or not initially identified on the proposal but hired later must complete responsible conduct of research (RCR) training. Without such verification, no student or postdoctoral fellow may work on an NSF-sponsored project.

UMBC uses the on-line training modules via the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) to track and document this training. Training topics are customized for a number of specific disciplines including Biomedical, Humanities, Social and Behavioral, and Physical Sciences, and Engineering.  Information and instructions to register are found at http://www.umbc.edu/research/ORPC/rcr_training.html.

March 11, 2011

The suite where ORPC is located will be going under renovations beginning next week which will affect our ability to accept faxed documents. Renovations that affect the ORPC should be complete by March 18, 2011. 

We will still accept and review information electronically via our email submission addresses (irbsubmissions@umbc.edu and iacucsubmissions@umbc.edu) and will process applications and answer questions related to protocols. 

We have a temporary fax number that investigators may use in the meantime. Please use 410-455-8750 to send signed application pages.

Thank you for your patience.
