Effective October 1, 2025, principal investigators (PIs), co-principal investigators (co-PIs), and senior/key personnel who apply to or hold federally funded awards must complete annual research security training. Any researcher who contributes in a substantive, meaningful way to the scientific development or execution of the project is considered senior/key personnel and has the training requirement.
Training Details:
- Required annually
- Must be completed before proposal submission and annually during the period of a federal award
- Takes about 1 hour
- Available in MyTrack Learning
Be sure to advance the training module until you see the certificate of completion at the very end. Otherwise, MyTrack may not record the training as complete.
Research Security Training for Subawardees and Contractors (Required)
The subawardee PI, co-PI, and senior/key personnel on federally funded awards must complete research security training, as does any other subaward researcher who contributes in a substantive, meaningful way to the scientific development or execution of the project.
Contractors who contribute in a substantive, meaningful way to the scientific development or execution of the project also need to complete research security training. Some contractors will meet this definition and others won’t.
Training Details:
- Required annually
- Must be completed before proposal submission and annually during the period of a federal award
- Takes about 1 hour
- Available from the SECURE Center
Subawardees and contractors should print and retain the certificate of completion at the end. Subawardees indicate their completion of the training requirement to the UO via the subaward certification form.
Please note that any UO researcher with a Duck ID must complete the research security training via MyTrack Learning. The below link is only for subawardees and contractors.
