The White House announced the release of a revised policy on the oversight of dual-use research of concern (DURC) and pathogens with enhanced pandemic potential (PEPPs). Some of the new elements include: defined roles, clear levels of oversight, and new list of pathogens covered. The new policy can be found here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/USG-Policy-for-Oversight-of-DURC-and-PEPP.pdf

This spring ORC engaged external consultants to review the IRB and IACUC office operations. Since then, we have been busy implementing their recommendations. In the fall, we look forward to unveiling updated eForms in InfoEd, new positions, new staff, updated guidance and “how to’s” and a new communications strategy. If you would like an update on our progress at a staff or department meeting, please contact us at orc@clemson.edu. Stay tuned!

The Division of Research keeps a list of Regulatory Alerts that impact Sponsored Programs, Research Security, Post-Award and Compliance. We provide timely updates regarding regulatory and policy changes that can impact your proposals and conduct of research. Be sure to check out the Regulatory Alerts page periodically for new updates.

The Mentoring Plan requirement has been expanded to include graduate students. Research.gov and Grants.gov will enforce that a Mentoring Plan not to exceed one page is uploaded for proposals when there is funding for graduate students and/or postdoctoral scholars. Refer to PAPPG Chapter II.D.2.i(i). Clemson has resources for Mentoring Plans.
