Advanced Training for Research Investigators, Project Directors, Project Staff and Students
The Office of Sponsored Programs, Technology Transfer Office and Legal Counsel held a required additional training session for all personnel involved in the design, conduct or reporting of sponsored research activities. Some new developments now require training and certifications that you need to learn about. Specifically for NIH funding recipients, attendance is mandatory to ensure that spending can continue past 8/24/12. This training was held in April 2012.
Three major topics were covered:

Principal Investigator (PI) trainingThe next PI training session will be held in Fall 2013. Contact Carmen Fike if you are interested in attending or if you would like to view a DVD of a past training.
MSU’s research focus continues to grow in both dollar amounts and national reputation. The PI Training was designed and developed as a pro active approach to ensure all investigators have the information needed to conduct their research in compliance at both the federal and state level. MSU PI Training is mandatory (one-time only) for researchers and we encourage anyone working with sponsored funding to attend.
