Subject: Responsible Conduct of Research Training - Fall (August 18-19, 2021)
Responsible Conduct of Research Training – Fall 2021
Dear Principal Investigators or Co-Investigators:
Announcing the Fall 2021 offering of REQUIRED TRAINING for your research staff supported
by NIH & NSF Funds.
Responsible Conduct of Research
August 18 & 19, 2021
Virtual Training Sessions I & II
Session I – Wednesday, August 18, 2021 (1:00 pm – 5:00 pm)
Session II –Thursday, August 19, 2021 (8:30 am – 12:30 pm)
Note: Full participation for both sessions are required.
All trainees, fellows, participants, and scholars receiving support through NIH and NSF
awards are required to complete the 8 hours of training in the responsible conduct of
research, or ethical and professional behavior in scientific research. Because you receive
funding from NIH or NSF, you are responsible for ensuring that your staff completes this
requirement. The training requirement must be fulfilled within the first year after an
award has been made and before the student or research, staff member completes or departs
the project. The training requirement must be renewed every four years and after a change
in status, such as from undergraduate to graduate student.
Note: Faculty are always welcome, but not required to participate in the training. It is
intended for students, post-doctoral and laboratory staff.

Questions contact: ccoi@utsa.edu<mailto:ccoi@utsa.edu>
Note: The online RCR training course offered through CITI is available but not required.
The Office of Research Integrity offers training opportunities to ensure that you meet the
requirements of your funding agency. Please know that UTSA is required to track and verify
training of all students and research staff funded on these awards.
