NSF/NIH Compliance Policies
CSUF does not tolerate sexual assault or 骚扰 of any form. This applies to all CSUF activities occurring on-campus or off-site. 的 National Institute of Health 和 National Science Foundation have taken additional precautions to ensure institutions receiving funded research provide a safe learning environment and are free from sexual assault and other forms of 骚扰. To also comply with NIH and NSF policies on funded research, the CSUF 研究合规 office has outlined the sponsor's expectations and implemented the following CSUF 的指导方针.
NIH/NSF | Policy for Reporting of Harassment or Sexual Assault
Effective October 21, 2018, the National Science Foundation (NSF) requires all awardee organizations to notify NSF of any findings/determinations of sexual 骚扰, other forms of 骚扰 or sexual assault by any NSF-funded Primary Investigator (PI) or co-PI. It is NSF policy that all personnel supported by an NSF award must conduct themselves in a responsible and accountable manner during the award performance period, whether at the awardee institution, 在线, or outside the organization, such as at field sites or facilities, or during conferences and workshops.
的 National 研究院 of Health (NIH) has also recently reinforced similar policies, 的指导方针, 需求, and communications to make its expectations clear to the NIH workforce and NIH-funded organizations, and to take appropriate actions within their authority. NIH strives to ensure that individuals know their rights, where to report incidents of sexual 骚扰, 和 resources available to them.
