Award notices from the NSF will arrive with a new training requirement for proposals submitted after July 31, 2023. Faculty and senior personnel will have 30 days to complete the training after receiving the notification of funding from the NSF. Completion of training is not required at the time of proposal submission.
The NSF requirements for training in the responsible and ethical conduct of research previously applied only to undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows.
Questions about the new requirements should be directed to Mike Andrews, Director of Research Integrity and Security, michael-andrews@uiowa.edu. | | | The Healthier Workforce Center encourages the development of new and creative research and research-oriented health promotion, health protection and translation projects with promise to lead to more comprehensive studies addressing Total Worker Health® approaches.
