A “Can Do” Approach to RCR Compliance Lessons Learned and Strategies Going Forward Marty Welsch, HR/RCR Coordinator Diane Rees, IT Professional, Research Services Colorado State University
Today’s Objectives • Introduction: What the charge was and why? • Trainee Identification and Training Opportunities • Challenge of Integration of RCR Activities • Lessons Learned & Strategies Moving Forward
Research@CSU • CSU enrollment: • 26,500 resident-instruction students • Freshman class size of 4500 • 3,600 graduate students • 1,500 faculty (970 tenure-track) • 4,400 staff • 130 FTE in the Office of the VP for Research • 26 FTE in Sponsored Programs/7.5 FTE in Research Services • 7.5 FTE in RICRO (Research Integrity & Compliance Review Office) • FY10 Research Expenditure by Sponsor • Total Federal = $211 mil (HHS>NSF>DoD>NASA>DoE) • Non-Federal = $49 mil • Total Research = $303 mil
How many? • NIH funded trainees • Department • Name • Job Title • PI • Same information for NSF trainees
Identifying the Trainees NSF Policy: “Implementation Plan: Effective January 4, 2010, NSF will require that, at the time of proposal submission to NSF, a proposing institution's Authorized Organizational Representative 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. ... institutions are responsible for verifying that undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers supported by NSF to conduct research have received RCR training.”
Identifying the Trainees NIH Policy: “NIH requires that all trainees, fellows, participants, and scholars receiving support through any NIH training, career development award (individual or institutional), research education grant, and dissertation research grant must receive instruction in responsible conduct of research. This policy will take effect with all new and renewal applications submitted on or after January 25, 2010, and for all continuation (Type 5) applications with deadlines on or after January 1, 2011. This Notice applies to the following programs: D43, D71, F05, F30, F31, F32, F33, F34, F37, F38, K01, K02, K05, K07, K08, K12, K18, K22, K23, K24, K25, K26, K30, K99/R00, KL1, KL2, R25, R36, T15, T32, T34, T35, T36, T37, T90/R90, TL1, TU2, and U2R. This policy also applies to any other NIH-funded programs supporting research training, career development, or research education that require instruction in responsible conduct of research as stated in the relevant funding opportunity announcements.” *CSU includes R01s

Back to the Pyramid….. • RCR Online Training is expected for anyone that does research or scholarly activity at CSU • 70% to pass • Not dependent upon funding mechanism • Assume Compliance/Information not tracked • Mentoring is expected
Back to the Pyramid…. • Standard being met by some departments • Departments don’t have discipline specific RCR courses • Active Compliance/Tracking • RCR activities are evaluated
We Aim for the Gold • Some departments have achieved this level • Create ethical based research culture/less of a compliance mentality • Discipline specific RCR training • Increase number of departments to Gold level
Case StudyConflict of Interest Dr. Ashanti Quick is an internationally renowned author and an established authority in Creative Writing. In addition to teaching and advising at CSU, Dr. Quick is very much in demand across the country and works with her publisher to promote her books and present lectures at various writing workshops. She also supplements her income by serving as a panel member at the Iowa Writer’s Workshop (one month in the summer and during spring and fall breaks), consulting with a state literacy advisory panel (two evenings/month), and serving as an ad hoc consultant to a board of a private foundation (approximately 2 hours/week).
Dr. Quick Does a Financial COI appear to exist? A. Yes B. No C. Don’t Know
Dr. Quick should…. • Resign from CSU if she is not willing to give up her outside professional development, as conflict of interest should be eliminated. • Work with her department head to disclose her outside activities in a management plan • Not do anything. Professional development and outreach is encouraged by the University.
