It is recommended that you complete RCR training as soon as possible while working on your NSF supported research project. Training in the Responsible Conduct of Research provides instruction on conducting research activities with excellence and integrity and is an essential element in preparation for a career in science or engineering. It is now required by NSF for any student or Post-Doctoral fellow supported on NSF funds. This training is best completed as soon as possible so that it may be of benefit to you while you conduct research on the project and so that UVM remains compliant with the federal requirements of the sponsor, the National Science Foundation.
Students and Postdoctoral Scholars should:
Choose to "Log in via SSO" (single sign on) and find the link for the University of Vermont.
Login using your standard UVM NetID and password.
Go through the registration process and choose the Responsible Conduct of Research Basic Course. DO NOT choose the Refresher course - it will not satisfy the NSF requirement.
It may take you several hours to complete the course. The web-based course allows you to save your work and come back to it later.
