Course Description: So you think you understand the Circulars? This workshop goes well beyond the basics by using case studies oriented
around difficult real life situations. Can two reasonable people
disagree on the interpretation of the Circulars? Is everything black and
white at the transactional level where the implementation of the
Circulars is crucial to the operation of the research enterprise at our
institutions? Reality is that we live in a world of gray and most
decisions are made on a case by case basis weighing heavily on the
documentation at hand and adding a little ‘common sense’ methodology
before approving action items. The Circulars allow room for
interpretation. Finding the right guidance for your institution is more
than sharing best practices and procedures, it understands how to fine
tune them for your institution. This workshop will look at current
compliance issues of interest around the country.
