OSP has implemented the NSF-funded SECURE condensed Research Security Training within Canvas. Any member of the JMU community can enroll and complete the course on Canvas. In addition, we have implemented the full 4-module NSF Research Security training as well, although at present the NSF, NIH, Department of Energy, and Department of Defense all recognize the condensed course as sufficient.
When you complete the course, please download and save the completion certificate for your records. If you are completing the training because it is required in order to submit a proposal for a sponsored program, you will need to upload the certificate in Cayuse for documentation purposes. Other programs require training to be completed before an award is issued.
If you have completed a different research security training that you believe satisfies your sponsor's requirements, please email OSP-AS with the information so that we can confirm.
Please note that Research Security Training is separate from Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training, which your sponsor may also require.
The NSF, NIH, Department of Energy, and other sponsors now require Research Security Training (RST), which includes training on current & pending/other support disclosure, prior to submission. If this applies to your proposal, OSP-AS will need to confirm that senior/key personnel (including co-PIs) have completed the required training before we are able to submit your proposal.
