The InfoEd Compliance modules supporting our IRB, IACUC, and IBC processes will be offline on 10/26/2023 from 5:30PM to no later than 9:30PM for database patching. After the completion the Compliance modules will become available again.

The goal of this webinar is to introduce the audience to the Ethical and Responsible Research (ER2) Program at the National Science Foundation. Research projects funded by the ER2 Program use fundamental research to produce knowledge about what constitutes or promotes responsible or irresponsible conduct of research and why, as well as how to best instill responsible conduct of research into researchers, practitioners, and educators at all career stages. The presentation will include a brief history of the ER2 program, and a brief description of the types of proposals that are supported by the program and the merit review process.

Time: October 10, 2023; 11a-12p

Remember as we start a new school year and you add new staff and students to your lab, you will need to complete an IBC amendment in InfoEd to keep your protocol(s) up-to-date. Access InfoEd to create and amend protocols.

Did you know if you will be receiving any of these pathogens, you might need a permit?

These pathogens are considered to be pathogenic to livestock/poultry by the USDA. These permits are required to be obtained only by the receiver (regardless of source or research). Permits are only required if the pathogen will be transported from another state (interstate) or internationally. If receiving from within the state, a permit is not required. These permits cost $150 and are good for 1 year.

If you plan to add minors (e.g. summer high school students) to your projects, there is a process for registering your lab and ensuring there is a safe environment for the students.

We are publishing a infographic that briefly describes the process with links (or QR codes if you chose to print). Click to access the infographic, or visit any of our program pages and look in the references.
