CHANGES IN GRANT SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
RESPONSIBLE CONDUCT OF RESEARCH
CUNY has issued a mandate that all faculty, postdoctoral researchers, graduate and undergraduate students involved in research-related activities complete the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative’s (CITI) Responsible Conduct of Research Training. This requirement is effective August 1, 2012. A copy of this certification is required with all grant proposal submissions, whether it is an internal or external grant application. Your proposal is incomplete without a copy of this certificate.
Upon completion of the training, you will receive a certificate of completion. This certificate is valid for five years. You must take the CITI refresher course prior to the expiration in order to maintain your RCR training certification.
For more information how to complete the CITI RCR training, please refer to http://research.hunter.cuny.edu/citi%20responsible%20conduct%20of%20research.pdf.
NEW FWA NUMBER FOR HUNTER COLLEGE
A Federalwide Assurance (FWA) are assigned by the Office for Human Research Protection (OHRP) and designates
which Institutional Review Board will review and oversee the research. Hunter College has a new Federalwide
Assurance Number. Please use FWA00018648 on all proposals effective immediately.
HUNTER COLLEGE - MINORITY SET-ASIDE GRANTS
Hunter no longer qualifies for minority set-aside grants as we are not classified as a Minority Serving Institution
(MSI), a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) or Minority Institution (MI).
HUNTER COLLEGE GRANTING PHD
Hunter College now sponsors or co-sponsors Ph.D. degrees in several disciplines. We are no longer eligible for
many programs for Undergraduate Institutions or programs for institutions that do not grant the Ph.D. (e.g., NSF RUI).
Remember
If in doubt, please contact us at 212-772-4020 or resadmin@hunter.cuny.edu. The Office of Research Administration is always here to assist.
