New NIH Requirements for Data Management for Genomic Data
On January 25, 2025, NIH will implement an update for data management and access practices under the Genomic Data Sharing (GDS) Policy (see Guide Notices NOT-OD-24-157 and NOT-OD-25-021) which will affect researchers and institutional officials who access controlled-access data repositories subject to the GDS Policy. In preparation for the changes, NIH is hosting two information sessions on NIH security best practices for users of controlled access data for the research community on Wednesday January 8, 2025 and Friday January 10, 2025 from 10-11am ET.

NSF Broadens RCR Requirements
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has issued new guidance that requires all principal investigators, co-principal investigators, and senior personnel who are or will be supported by NSF funds to complete Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research (RCR) training. This requirement will be effective for all proposals and awards beginning July 31, 2023.
OSP will certify that Dartmouth has a plan and our plan is to verify training at the time of award. RCR training is available via the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI). To prepare for this new requirement, you can complete this training at any time, beginning immediately. Instructions to access CITI can be found at this link Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) program. We are exploring other training options as well. More to come.
