Compulsory Research Integrity Training from 2021

 As communicated on 9 December 2020, the Research Integrity Team in the Office of the Senior Vice-Provost and Vice-Provost (Research) has advised that in light of Monash University's continued commitment to the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research and ensuring all research conducted at our institution is carried out with the highest integrity, we will be moving towards implementing compulsory Research Integrity training for our researchers over the coming years.

The training will be rolled out from 1 January 2021 as follows:

 

Commencing 1 January 2021	All successful award recipient Principal Chief Investigators (PCIs, CIAs), must complete online Research Integrity training at the time of notice of award.
Commencing 1 January 2022	All applicant Principal Chief Investigators (PCIs, CIAs) must complete online Research Integrity training at the time of application submission to funder.

Where can I find the training?

Research Integrity training can be found in 'My Development' within the HR & Employment tile on the my.monash homepage. Once within 'My Development', simply search for 'Research Integrity' to bring up the training module.

The training can be undertaken by anyone at any time, but will be compulsory for Principal Chief Investigators as outlined above from 2021. Please note, award monies for successful awards will not be released by R&R unless this training has been completed.

Once completed, training is valid for 5 years.
