Previous Experience
If I have taken and passed a Responsible Conduct of Research
subject at another institution, must I take and pass the CSU
Long Beach subject module on the same subject? |
Yes.
The CSU Long Beach modules are not difficult and will be particularly
easy for people who are already well versed in the subject.
However, different institutions have slightly different approaches
and vocabularies, and moreover, it is expected that CSU Long
Beach research groups will discuss the subject modules among
themselves. |
Applicability
Do I have to take and pass any of the Responsible Conduct of
Research subject modules if I am not applying to the U.S. Public
Health Service for grant funding? |
No.
Members of the IRB are required to complete the Human Subjects
Protections Module. Faculty may require students to complete
modules. Faculty members are encouraged to use these resources
within their research staffs, particularly with graduate students.
If there are additional mandates from outside or within the
campus, this answer will be amended. |
Continuation
Do the RCR requirements apply to continuing grants and to existing
grants which will subsequently be renewed or continued? |
Yes.
If you are an applicant or awardee using Human Subjects after
10/1/00, you must be certified in the Human Subjects subject
module. |
