Compliance Training Matrix for PURA Students
Online

(In-Person is encouraged but not required)

* The online training (a CITI RCR course) must be successfully completed within 90 days of being appointed to a covered project or before the applicable person graduates or otherwise leaves the Institute, even if that imposes a shorter deadline.

+ The in-person training must be completed within the first year of being appointed to a covered project or before the applicable person graduates or otherwise leaves the Institute, even if that imposes a shorter deadline. ("In-Person" can include face-to-face video discussions.)

Beginning with new proposals submitted or due on or after July 31, 2023, faculty and other senior personnel funded by NSF to conduct research will need to participate in Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research (RECR) training. Refer to Georgia Tech's Information for NSF Faculty webpage for updates regarding this requirement.

Applicable doctoral students who have a catalog year prior to 2011-12 should check with the RCR Program if they need to discuss other options for satisfying the in-person training requirement.

Included in the RCR Compliance Policy is information about RCR re-training requirements.
