<p class=MsoNormal>Effective January 14, 2010, the eCAF PI Research Integrity tab
will include a new certification (see below) for proposals submitted to the National
Science Foundation (Sponsor or Prime Sponsor). The certification
is in response to NSF’s institutional certification requirement for proposals
due on and after January 4, 2010.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you have any questions or need additional information,
please contact the Contract and Grant Officer for your department.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Best regards, <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b>Certification </b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>As the UCR Principal Investigator for this proposal, I
have read and I understand UCR's plan to meet the National Science Foundation's
educational requirements for the responsible and ethical conduct of research <a
href="http://or.ucr.edu/RI/ResponsibleConduct.aspx">http://or.ucr.edu/RI/ResponsibleConduct.aspx</a>.
I agree to comply with this requirement and I will ensure that all undergraduates,
graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers who will be supported by this
NSF award will receive training and oversight in the responsible and ethical
conduct of research.<o:p></o:p></p>
