Harassment and Discrimination Protections in NIH Training Applications
NIH Notice NOT-OD-19-029 requires a certification to be included in every NIH institutional training grant effective January 25, 2019. The certification must provide that the university has proper policies, procedures and oversight to prevent discriminatory practices.
The UF Office of Research has prepared a standard letter which should be included in all T applications effective immediately.
The letter is housed on the CTSI Training grant toolkit page at: https://www.ctsi.ufl.edu/education/grant-workshops/training-grant-and-application-resources/training-grant-application-resources/ specifically at: Prevention of Discriminatory Harassment on NIH Training Grants
If you have any questions about the letter, please contact me Stephanie Gray at slgray@ufl.edu or 352-392-3516.
