Face to face RCR instruction is required for many grad students and postdocs supported by NIH; those funded by NSF have the option of taking either this course or online instruction.  In years past, the course has had students attending from multiple (12) departments on campus.

Students or post-docs paid for by the follow NIH grants are required to take this RCR training. D43, D71, F05, F30, F31, F32, F33, F34, F37, F38, K01, K02, K05, K07, K08, K12, K18, K22, K23, K24, K25, K26, K30, K99/R00, KL1, KL2, R25, R36, T15, T32, T34, T35, T36, T37, T90/R90, TL1, TU2, and U2R. However, the NIH recommends all students take it and having taken the class helps with K series and F series applications.

See list of available courses which meet this requirement on the CU campus.

• Graduate students should register for GRAD 5000 (Fall 2018 class 41437, Fall 2019 class 24511).
• For Post-Docs we have created an extra-ordinary section of the class through CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ Continuing Education. The extra-ordinary section tuition is $90. Alexa Van Dalsem at OCG says this $90 can be paid for by the grant that requires the post-doc to take the class. On the other hand, the grant that requires you to take the course is not required to pay for the course. Post-Docs will need to talk to your grant administrator about how to pay for the class. Post-docs will need to pay their tuition at the time of registration. The post-doctoral office has offered to pay the first 5 students a semester that register for the class.  Registration Instructions.
  • Note: If you have ever taken RCR in the past, the CCARS workshop can be complete instead of the GRAD5000 class.

Please register by the first day of the semester in the year you are required to take the course.

Additionaly, RCR is require every 4 years.
