Education & Training Programs

Duke offers a wide variety of training programs, classes and support resources to assist those involved with the grant management process. You may view the Research Compliance & Reporting list of training or various Research related, upcoming training and information below.

New Training Tracker Available!
The Training Tracker is a newly developed tool for viewing your completed RCC training.  It allows you to pull your training using first or last name, Duke ID, or BFR and can exclude those without training.  Any completed RCC training can be sorted by the different fields, such as class name or employee name, and can be exported to a spreadsheet for further formatting.  Please note:  FY12 classes are currently being updated and will be ready for viewing shortly.  Use your Net ID and password to log in.  Contact RCC with questions or concerns regarding your completed training.
