Sign-up for upcoming satellite broadcast on research compliance

The Office of Grants and Contracts Accounting (GCA) is sponsoring a 4-hour satellite broachcast on “Best Practices in Research Compliance: Update on Policies and Regulations and Implementation at Institutions,” Tuesday, September 13, from 11:30 AM to 3:30 PM in the Institute of Psychiatry Auditorium. The National Council of University Research Administrators (NCURA) is providing the program.

The session includes an overview of the current state of various non-fiscal compliance areas such as human subjects, animal use, rDNA, safety, biohazards, select agents, and conflicts-of-interest. The faculty for this workshop will address centralized vs. decentralized responsibility and include examples of lines of responsibility. Suggestions on monitoring to ensure compliance and a look at available tools will be highlighted. The workshop will conclude by sharing information on how institutions are covering the increasing cost of compliance.

There is no charge to attend, but registration is strongly encouraged. Please register online at research.musc.edu/gca/ncura_signup_form.htm or contact Ann Hall at 792-4025 or hallal@musc.edu.
