SUBJECT:       Research Compliances

 

Texas A&M University-Commerce is committed to high quality research and
to providing our faculty, post doctoral associates, professional staff,
graduate and undergraduate students with a conducive environment to
conduct research in a responsible manner. As a result, there are various
areas of research compliance in which each individual who is involved in
research must gain adequate training.  Please visit our website
(http://www.tamu-commerce.edu/gradschool/research/compliance.asp) for
more details about the various areas of research compliance training
that researchers must complete before engaging in research (protection
of human subjects, animal care and use, responsible conduct in research,
etc...).

 

Through the Office of Sponsored Programs, various forms of training are
available including workshops, seminars, and the recently purchased
online training software, Collaborative Institutional Training Institute
(CITI).  Faculty, staff, and students who successfully complete the
appropriate training module of CITI will satisfy the compliance
requirement for Federal regulations.  Starting January 1, 2010, all
researchers must successfully complete the ethics module, along with all
required modules based on the nature of the research, in CITI.  Once a
specific course is completed, each researcher will receive a
certificate, which is valid for two years, at which time a refresher
course must be taken.

 

These efforts will help us continue to better meet the Federal
compliance requirements, and also uphold the highest standard of
integrity and honesty in all aspects of research and scholarship carried
out at the university.  I wish you continued success in all your
research endeavors.
