All NSF investigators and other senior personnel are required to take “RCR – Faculty and Senior Personnel Responsible Conduct of Research” training in CITI. This is effective for NSF proposals awarded after July 31, 2023. ERA will place an automatic hold status on new NSF awards pending RCR training completion.
