The Office of Research, Impact and Economic Development is delighted to announce the selection of UT’s Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Ambassadors for Research Security:
- Wade Bishop, College of Communication & Information
- Samantha Ehrlich, College of Education, Health, & Human Sciences
- Seongkyoon Jeong, Haslam College of Business
- Jason Hayward, Tickle College of Engineering
- Phillip Myer, UT Institute of Agriculture
- Gregory Stuart, College of Arts & Sciences
We would like to thank the six colleagues named above, as well as many others who expressed interest in serving in these positions.
The RCR Research Security Ambassadors will help the university develop a comprehensive Research Security Program as described in the Implementation Guidance for National Security Presidential Memorandum 33 (NSPM-33). The robust response we received for faculty interested in supporting the development of the Program reflects not only the importance of research security, but the Volunteer spirit of our faculty community.
The support of a strong culture of research integrity and security relies upon the commitment of the entire UT research community. If you have suggestions or questions about the Research Security Program or about other RCR initiatives, please contact Mary Sechrist (mjourdan@utk.edu) and/or Jane Burns (janeburns@utk.edu) in the ORIED Division of Research Integrity & Assurance.
