Individual learners should NOT submit personal training records via the method below. This method is for group trainings with a school, department, or program. If you attended a training outside of your department/non-WashU training, then you should submit your training completion to a research administrator in your department.
Continuing Education Submission
Schools, departments, and programs in receipt of NIH funds* can:
1. Collect documentation and maintain records of educational content and proof of attendance for each session attended by a qualifying individual.
2. Submit attendance records within 30 days of each session.
*Undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers receiving support on NIH training grants, career awards, fellowships, research education grants, dissertation research grants, or as specified in the NOFO.
Submitting Attendance Records
To submit attendance records, access the RCR Continuing Education Submission Form. A separate form must be submitted for each event or session.
Retaining Documentation for Continuing RCR Education
Schools, departments, and programs that administer NIH projects must maintain a filing system that tracks completion of RCR Continuing Education requirements. Files should include:
Documentation of Educational Content
For of each education session, the administrating school, department, or program should retain copies of items that reflect the content of the session. These items may include but are not limited to: event agendas, copies of the presentation slides, other handouts provided at the event, etc.
Verification of Completion
For each individual submitted as attending an educational session, the administrating school, department, or program should retain verification of attendance. Documents that verify attendance include event sign-in sheets, completion certificates, email certification from the instructor, etc.
Documentation may be organized by individual or event. Files should be easily accessible and are subject to review upon request.
