OGRD Workshop Sign-up
- SRA Video Series - September 13, 2001, "Conducting Research Responsibly" There is potential here for this video to meet the educational requirements issued by the Office of Research Integrity (ORI) for the "Responsible Conduct of Research" (RCR). There will be four areas discussed human subjects research, conflict of interest, research misconduct, and mentorship. This will be important for any of your faculty, grad students, technicians, etc. to attend.
- New Faculty Orientation - Oct. 1st and 2nd. More information will be forthcoming on this.
OGRD Workshop Sign-up
- OGRD Human Subjects mandatory training. Misty Cato will be providing monthly human subjects training as required by NIH. These will be provided over WHETS and a schedule is forthcoming.
OGRD Workshop Sign-up
- We introduced new folks in the room.
- We discussed Material Transfer Agreements and why they are important to negotiate properly especially with Industry. WSU must maintain ownership of research results, intellectual property, and keep governing law and jurisdiction either in the state of Washington or keep it silent. The important issue of ownership is to allow our faculty to keep the research results for their normal teaching, research, and public service duties. If we turn over those rights to the Material Provider then we are not allowed to use that information, unless we ask.
- PHS 398 forms are new and will be required to be used in January 2002. In addition, Continuation sheets will soon be NO LONGER sent to the institutions to disseminate to Pis, but will come as e-mail reminders.
- The above PHS information led to a discussion of Public 106-107 that requires the federal agencies to "streamline" the grant process and we are starting to see agency by agency and even subagency be subagency come up with their own ideas. This will be interesting to manage because OGRD may be responsible to keep userids and passwords for each of these subagencies and then keep the faculty userids and passwords for each of the subagencies. The could be quite an impact on IS management for WSU.
- Excess compensation was briefly discussed in that the state of Washington does not allow non-performance to be paid so that may impact supplemental pay to faculty for their work at getting grants, etc.
- Aug. 29th is the next HRS class in the Life Cycle series.
- Monthly seminars have been considered that focus more on the specific topics.
OGRD Workshop Sign-up
- Our next meeting is scheduled for September 10th at 9:00 am in Murrow 55.
