Hello colleagues, and welcome back! We hope you all had a wonderful break and that your semester is off to a great start. Like you, we are doing our best in the transition to Workday and your patience is appreciated.

CSCE & Workday

CSCE will continue with the same process in which the departments submit a fund transfer request for the one lump sum, just like we did with OnBase, but now it's in Workday. We've updated each of our grant webpages with some instructuctions that we hope will help, but please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions. Be sure to take a look at the Dissemination Grant Budget Information and Mini Grant Budget Information.

Classroom Presentations

ORCI is currently scheduling classroom presentations for the Winter semester. If you are interested in having a representative from ORCI and/or the Institutional Review Board (IRB) serve as a guest presenter in your classroom to discuss research ethics/compliance topics (i.e., human subjects research, responsible conduct of research, etc.), please contact ORCI at rci@gvsu.edu. We will try to accommodate as many requests as possible.

Compliance Corner

Q: What are the best storage options for the data I’ve collected on my IRB protocol, and how can I safely share it with my collaborators?

A: The level of data protection required will depend upon the type of information being collected and stored. Please consult IRB Guidance Document G-16: Guidance on Data Management Requirements for Research Data for further information. Note that sensitive information and information subject to additional protections (such as HIPAA or FERPA) requires a higher level of protection, and transferring such data to 3rd party apps/software requires GVSU IT review if the items are not already on IT’s approved list. For surveys, researchers are strongly encouraged to use the GVSU-licensed Qualtrics platform.
