B. Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) 1. Background The responsible and ethical conduct of research (RCR) is critical for excellence, as well as public trust, in science and engineering. Consequently, education in RCR is considered essential in the preparation of future scientists and engineers. Section 7009 of the America Creating Opportunities to Meaningfully Promote Excellence in Technology, Education, and Science (COMPETES) Act (42 U.S.C. 1862o1 requires that each institution that applies for financial assistance from the Foundation for science and engineering research or education describe in its grant proposal a plan to provide appropriate training and oversight in the responsible and ethical conduct of research to undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers participating in the proposed research project. The language specified below provides NSFs implementation of Section 7009. 2. Institutional Responsibilities a. An institution must have a plan in place 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. As noted in GPG Chapter II.C.1e, institutional certification to this effect is required for each proposal. b. While training plans are not required to be included in proposals submitted to NSF, institutions are advised that they are subject to review, upon request. c. An institution must designate one or more persons to oversee compliance with the RCR training requirement. d. Institutions are responsible for verifying that undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers supported by NSF to conduct research have received training in the responsible and ethical conduct of research. At the proposal stage, in order to be in compliance with the requirement, Marquette Principal Investigators (PIs) are being requested to include the following paragraph in their proposal (there is no required spot; this might flow well in a section discussing broader impacts): In accordance with the America COMPETES Act, Ӱ has a plan to provide appropriate training and oversight in the responsible and ethical conduct of research to undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers participating in the proposed research project. The plan is available for review upon request. If awarded, PIs will need to make sure that any grant-funded students and postdocs complete the institutional RCR training. Note that students and postdocs do not need to complete the training before they can begin work. >?DELb   ^0߮ߛymym[I[#h^h^5CJOJQJ^JaJ#h^h?$)5CJOJQJ^JaJh?$)CJOJQJaJh?$)5CJOJQJ\aJ%h^5B*CJOJQJ\aJph%h?$)5B*CJOJQJ\aJph#h?$)h?$)>*CJOJQJ^JaJ h?$)h?$)CJOJQJ^JaJh^CJOJQJ^JaJh?$)CJOJQJ^JaJ#h?$)h?$)5CJOJQJ^JaJ>?  8 #/0n^gd^gd?$)+n h?$)h?$)CJOJQJ^JaJh?$)CJOJQJ^JaJ21h:p:/ =!"#$% b 666666666vvvvvvvvv666666>6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666hH6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666662 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~PJ_HmH nH sH tH L`L ?$)Normal$CJOJQJ^J_HaJmH sH tH DA D Default Paragraph FontRiR 0 Table Normal4 l4a (k ( 0No List V^@V ?$)0 Normal (Web)dd[$\$CJOJQJ^JaJHH ?$)0 Balloon TextCJOJQJ^JaJNN ?$)0Balloon Text CharCJOJQJ^JaJPK![Content_Types].xmlj0Eжr(΢Iw},-j4 wP-t#bΙ{UTU^hd}㨫)*1P' ^W0)T9<l#$yi};~@(Hu* Dנz/0ǰ $ X3aZ,D0j~3߶b~i>3\`?/[G\!-Rk.sԻ..a濭?PK!֧6 _rels/.relsj0 }Q%v/C/}(h"O = C?hv=Ʌ%[xp{۵_Pѣ<1H0ORBdJE4b$q_6LR7`0̞O,En7Lib/SeеPK!kytheme/theme/themeManager.xml M @}w7c(EbˮCAǠҟ7՛K Y, e.|,H,lxɴIsQ}#Ր ֵ+!,^$j=GW)E+& 8PK!Ptheme/theme/theme1.xmlYOo6w toc'vuر-MniP@I}úama[إ4:lЯGRX^6؊>$ !)O^rC$y@/yH*񄴽)޵߻UDb`}"qۋJחX^)I`nEp)liV[]1M<OP6r=zgbIguSebORD۫qu gZo~ٺlAplxpT0+[}`jzAV2Fi@qv֬5\|ʜ̭NleXdsjcs7f W+Ն7`g ȘJj|h(KD- dXiJ؇(x$( :;˹!
