Training and Education
Welcome to the Weill Cornell Medical College Research Compliance Training Program
The Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC) Office of Research and Sponsored Programs Compliance (ORC) is committed to facilitating research activities in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. We believe that our commitment starts with education and training of our faculty, students, and staff involved with research. Therefore, the ORC has developed several training modules to assist WCMC employees in the day-to-day processes of research administration. The first module in the ORC Education and Training Program was developed in partnership with Health Care Compliance Strategies. This module is intended to address both institutional and statutory requirements that arise in the grant application process. All research faculty and staff must complete this module in order to be certified. The ORC will receive updates for this module and will develop new modules in light of the changing nature of research compliance.
All modules will be monitored to identify those individuals who have completed each module via receipt of certification. All modules will be web-based and accessible by using your cwid. The focus of the module is learning and understanding processes as opposed to memorizing text. This aspect of adult learning theory will continue to be an essential component of our education and training initiatives. As new modules are developed and added, individuals who have previously completed the original modules, will have a year to complete the additional modules and any additional update quizzes, in order to maintain certification. Training must be completed prior to receipt of an award. All key personnel, investigators, faculty, department administrators, and divisional administrators must have completed the module by July 31, 2008.
