Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Modules: All grant participants must complete the CITI RCR modules within the first 12 hours of admittance. If a student has not completed the CITI RCR modules after the 4th semester of study, the Office of the Registrar will place a fatal hold on registration and other university transactions, including transcript orders.
Review ODU's requirements and select instructions for further information. Note that you must complete the Social and Behavioral Responsible Conduct of Research course. You do not need to send your certificate to the grant office, but you should retain a copy for your records. When you created your log-in and indicated that you were a student at ODU, you set up an automatic transfer of your completion information to ODU.
Background check: ACSD grant recipients are participating in an approved endorsement program that requires completion of early field experiences (practica). Regardless of the placement location of your early field experiences (practica), including your own classroom, it is required that you complete the ODU clearance process before the deadline. Please note that participants will be dropped from any practica course if he/she has not met this requirement by the deadline.
This clearance process is explained on the Office of Clinical Experiences website. It is essential that each element in the clearance is completed accurately, by following the instructions. Please read each set of directions carefully. Grant participants are required to complete the process once while at Old Dominion University, unless they have a break in service requiring reactivation of their ODU accounts. However, if a school division requires an additional clearance, you must complete the clearance requested by the school division or move to a different school division that will accept the ODU clearance process.
