This policy establishes institutional requirements for training Senior/Key Personnel on Other Support disclosure obligations, in accordance with National Institutes of Health (NIH) Notice NOT-OD-25-133. The goal is to ensure full transparency and compliance with NIH’s disclosure standards to uphold research integrity and security.
Under the direction of the Provost & Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, the Vice Chancellor for Research shall implement this policy, and the Pre-Award, Post-Award, and Research Compliance team shall ensure compliance with this policy.
This policy applies to all individuals identified as Senior/Key Personnel on NIH proposals, awards, and Just-in-Time submissions. This includes faculty, researchers, and any personnel whose contributions are deemed significant to NIH-funded research.
Effective October 1, 2025, NIH requires mandatory training for PIs and Senior/Key Personnel to ensure Senior/Key Personnel fully understand their responsibility to disclose all resources made available to the researcher in support of an/or related to all of their research endeavors. Starting on that date, Senior/Key Personnel on NIH grants must complete required training for properly disclosing all “Other Support” accurately. Training may be offered via a variety of mediums including, but not limited to, NIH-endorsed online modules, institution-specific modules, CITI Program modules, or in-person training and training completion will be required prior to award issuance.
