FCOI Training & Resources
The FCOI Training Module is a tutorial to be used in conjunction with ACHE FCOI institutional training. This is required of institutions who seek federal funding and provides means to meet the Investigator training requirements of the FCOI regulation. Investigators must be trained about both the regulation as well as the ACHE institutional FCOI policy and investigator disclosure requirements. This presentation is self-paced and includes a short quiz (9 questions) at the end along with a certificate to confirm compliance. This training must be renewed at least every four years, and also immediately if institutional policies change in a way that affects investigator requirements, or if an investigator is new to an institution or is not in compliance with the policy.
Note: The FCOI Module is in found in the NIH website because NIH is the agency that oversees this part of the federal regulation and provides the service – this certifies your compliance with the federal regulation. If you have trouble downloading the certificate so that your name/completion date populates on it, we can help, please feel free to reach out to Tiffany Maurer, tiffany.maurer@achehealth.edu or Katrina Brandli, Katrina.Brandli@achehealth.edu.
- For ACHE FCOI Compliance, follow the OneAegis link below to access your PI Dashboard.
- Select the ‘Click here to create a new disclosure form’ button, see picture below, read the policy at the top of the form, complete all questions (the ‘Next’ button will take you to any additional required pages), and be sure to hit ‘Submit’ at the end.
- For Federal FCOI Compliance, follow the get started link below to access the NIH FCOI Module Training page.
- Watch the brief training video and complete the quiz at the end.
- In Results Page select Print Certificate.
- Type your name and select OK.
- Hit ‘Control P’ on your keyboard to create a PDF and save. If you try to save any other way, your name will not appear on the certificate.
- Submit the PDF to Tiffany Maurer, tiffany.maurer@achehealth.edu or Katrina Brandli, Katrina.Brandli@achehealth.edu and we will upload this to your account in OneAegis.
- Once uploaded in OneAegis, you will receive automatic notification when your certification expires so that you can renew following the previous steps.
eRA COMMONS (NIH)
RESEARCH.GOV (NSF)
Research.gov is a centralized platform for managing and tracking federally-funded research projects in the United States. Developed by the National Science Foundation (NSF), it provides researchers, institutions, and funding agencies with tools and resources for proposal submission, project management, and reporting.
How it Works:
- Researchers and institutions use Research.gov to prepare and submit proposals for NSF-funded research projects.
- Awardees access project management tools to monitor progress, budget, and compliance requirements.
- Project outcomes and reports are submitted through the platform, including final reports and publications.
- Collaboration and communication between stakeholders are facilitated through Research.gov’s messaging and notification features.
ORCID
ORCID, which stands for Open Researcher and Contributor ID, is a unique identifier that distinguishes individual researchers and scholars in the academic and scientific community. It provides a persistent digital identifier that links researchers with their scholarly works, affiliations, and contributions across different research platforms and databases.
How it Works:
- Researchers register for an ORCID iD, which is a unique 16-digit identifier.
- They use their ORCID iD when submitting manuscripts, applying for grants, or publishing research outputs.
- ORCID iDs are integrated into various research systems and platforms, allowing researchers to automatically populate their profiles with their publications, affiliations, and other scholarly activities.
- Researchers can manage their ORCID profiles, add new works, and grant permissions to organizations to update their records.
SciENcv
SciENcv, or Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae, is a platform provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to create and maintain professional researcher profiles. It allows researchers to generate, manage, and share their curriculum vitae (CV) and biographical sketches in a standardized format required for grant applications and research reporting.
How it Works:
- Researchers log in to SciENcv using their eRA Commons or ORCID credentials.
- They enter their personal and professional information, including education, employment history, publications, and research activities.
- SciENcv can automatically import data from external sources such as PubMed and ORCID to populate the CV.
- Researchers can customize and manage their CVs, adding new entries, editing existing information, and selecting preferred citation formats.
- Generated CVs can be shared electronically with collaborators or submitted directly to funding agencies as part of grant applications.
