The National Institutes for Health (NIH),  the  National  Science  Foundation  (NSF), and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) of the USDA  have  requirements  for  training  in  the  Responsible  Conduct  of  Research  (RCR).

To see a detailed list of the federal requirements, as well as UCR's institutional plan,  or if you are uncertain about the training requirements that may apply to you, please visit the UCR Office for Research and Economic Development (ORED).

According to UCR's institutional plan, the PI and the trainee have the primary responsibility for obtaining and documenting the required training.  Attached is a training tracking template that you may find useful in planning for and documenting the required training. The notification of the need for such training, and any compliance aspects of documenting such training, are the responsibility of the UCR Office of Research and Economic Development (ORED).
