February 2010 announcements
Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research
Beginning on Jan. 4, 2010, for any grant submission to the National Science Foundation (NSF), the AOR (Authorized Organizational Representative) is required to certify that the institution has a plan to provide appropriate training and oversight in the responsible and ethical conduct of research to undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers who will be supported by NSF to conduct research.
All St. Norbert College undergraduate, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers who will be supported by the NSF to conduct research will be required to have a current certificate on file demonstrating that they have successfully completed human subjects training and/or animal subjects training, as relevant to the research project. Principle Investigators will also work with their researchers to help them recognize and identify ethical issues in their field, including, but not limited to, adequate sample size, accuracy of data collection, developing alternative hypotheses, developing a non-biased approach to research, and transparency of methodology.
At the end of each grant period, a copy of 1. the student's certificate(s) of completion for human subjects training and/or animal subjects training and 2. the principal investigator's summary (1 page maximum) of how they have mentored their researcher(s) regarding the responsible and ethical conduct of research must be on file with the Chair of the Institutional Review Board. For more information, please see the NSF Responsible Conduct of Research Plan.
