Join us for an insightful presentation on research protection and ethical collaboration. American universities lead the way in cutting-edge research, but when this research is exploited by individuals with nefarious intentions, it can have serious consequences—tarnishing reputations, leading to funding losses, lab closures, and legal issues.

This session, presented by the FBI, will focus on: Steps to secure intellectual property and research materials and proper practices for collaborating with international universities.

DATE: March 6, 2025

TIME: 12:00 pm

PRESENTER: Nathan Livesey, FBI-WMD Coordinator

Location: G100 BRC (IN-PERSON ONLY)

The narrow federal definition of Research Misconduct–Fabrication/Falsification/Plagiarism–does not account for all sorts of other bad practices, including unprofessional conduct, which can include but is not limited to harassment, bullying, etc. This presentation will include how professional misconduct is defined, how these behaviors impact research integrity, how to prevent and report misconduct in all forms, and the potential outcomes.

Presenter: Robin Tyndall, Director of the Office of Research Compliance

When: February 20, 2025 from 12 PM – 1 PM

Location: Via Zoom Meeting ID: 965 2454 6984 I Passcode: 084850

The IRB and IACUC Compliance module InfoEd eForms have been upgraded. The new eForms have a cleaner more Clemson oriented look and feel and have been restructured for an overall easier submission process. You may now use them to submit applications. Thank you for your patience during the upgrade.

New IACUC eForms will be launched from December 2-6, 2024.  The IACUC submissions system will be unavailable after November 22 in order to prepare for the deployment of the new forms.

Any submissions – such as initial applications, amendments, and annual reviews – that are created in InfoEd but not officially submitted to the CU IACUC Office by November 22 will be permanently deleted to prevent compatibility issues with the new eForms.

If you plan to use animals in research or teaching before February 1, 2025, please submit your application by November 22 using the current eForm.

If you plan to use animals in research or teaching after February 1, 2025, we recommend submitting your application after December 6, when the new eForms are deployed.

Be sure to visit the IACUC webpage for updated information to ensure a smooth transition to the new forms.

We are excited to announce a significant revision of our IRB and IACUC applications will be introduced in early December.

Details regarding how the changeover will occur and what to expect in the new forms will be coming throughout the fall.

We have two exciting new resources that can help you access what you need for your IACUC AUPs.

1.  Your approved documents can now all be found in one place—the document library. To see your documents, open the AUP by using the Master Record option. In the black bar across the top, select “Approved Docs.” The approved versions of your documents should be listed.
2. If you want to reference an existing SOP from a facility to describe your procedures, you can list or link the SOP from the Office of Animal Resources (nearly all facility SOPs are now available). To access, go to the OAR site, and under the University/Attending Veterinarian, select the “Standard Operating Procedures.” Access requires a Clemson login.
