Encore | A Series of Annual Meeting Webinars
The
growing concerns about improper foreign influence on federally funded research
at US universities has led to heightened scrutiny and a stricter enforcement of
compliance measures. Two critical aspects of foreign influence that have been
emphasized by federal funders are transparency and upholding the fundamental
principles of scientific integrity. Much of the education at universities
around foreign influence is aimed at investigators.
Department Research Administrators (DRAs) are an untapped institutional
resource on the front line of identifying and appropriately presenting foreign
influence when submitting research proposals. This webinar, targeted at DRAs,
will define foreign influence and the disclosure requirements of federal
sponsors. It will also offer guidance on how they can protect the PIs and the
institution by recognizing a foreign component, when international travel needs
to be disclosed, and how to review other, current and pending Support documents
with an eye for disclosure.
Learning Objectives:
- Gain a comprehensive understanding of what constitutes foreign influence in federally funded research and its implications for compliance, transparency, and scientific integrity.
- Identify situations requiring disclosure of foreign components, international travel, and other relevant details.
