SUBJECT: Federally required training

Colleagues,

As we discussed in a recent Council of Deans meeting, the federal government, through the National Science Foundation, has notified us that we must train faculty in several key areas. To facilitate this process, while minimizing the burden on our faculty, we have developed an on-line training program. Although we would encourage all faculty and graduate students to complete the training, at the present time, we will require participation only by those who receive new sponsored program awards. Thus, starting immediately, OGRD and Sponsored programs will not be able to complete account setup processes until all of a projects co-PI’s have completed the necessary training. To access the training modules, faculty should sign in to https://myresearch.wsu.edu using their usual WSU network ID and password. I want to also note that we anticipate that, over the next several years, additional content will be added to this site, such as IBC, IACUC, IRB, etc approvals, which will facilitate the faculty’s management of research projects.

Please forward this information to your faculty.

James N. Petersen

Vice Provost for Research
