As of January 2010, NSF requires training in the responsible conduct of research (RCR) for all undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral students supported by NSF funding. In order to meet the NSF requirement and to provide more training to the students and post-docs, UNL has created an online RCR course that is administered through Blackboard (GRDC 98).
Completion of online RCR training is a requirement of students receiving NSF funding. Training must be completed by Nov.9, or current or future funding opportunities may be negatively impacted.
Individuals needing to complete the course were automatically enrolled in the online RCR training course in September and have been notified of the requirement to complete this training.
