| Cost sharing on sponsored projects: Toward a more consistent policy
I thought it would be helpful to address an important topic for all of us who pursue external sponsored funding: cost sharing. Earlier this spring, to eliminate (or at least minimize!) questions, we released a revised policy clarifying how investigators may implement cost sharing on their sponsored projects.

New Office of Research Security and Export Controls
The Office of Research Security and Export Controls (ORSEC) has been created to manage increasing security requirements for federally funded research. ORSEC will continue its export controls and economic sanctions compliance mandate while responding to new and evolving guidelines as outlined in National Security Presidential Memorandum-33 and associated agency implementation guidance. Dan Runge will serve as the director of ORSEC.
Export Control Training Available for International Shippers
The Office of Research Security and Export Controls can provide in-person or remote training for international shippers on compliance with export controls and economic sanctions. All university personnel engaging in international shipping on behalf of UGA should request review of international shipments by the Office of Export Control prior to shipment. Contact Dan Runge at drunge@uga.edu or 2-4188.
IRB: Expiration of Approval
PIs should have multiple tools and safeguards to ensure that they meet requirements for continuing review and approval of human research projects. When approval expires on a project, all related human research procedures must stop until a new approval is granted. When research activities are complete, the PI is responsible for closing the project in the IRB portal. For questions, contact the Human Subjects Office at IRB@uga.edu or 706-542-3199.
Travel, Shipping and Activities involving Belarus, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria or Ukraine
The U.S. government imposes comprehensive economic sanctions and trade embargoes on Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Syria, as well as the Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine. The U.S. has also significantly expanded export controls and economic sanctions for Belarus and Russia. Activities involving these high-risk countries should receive export control review. Contact Dan Runge at drunge@uga.edu or 706-542-4188.
IACUC Revised Policy
The IACUC has revised and restructured its policy on anesthesia, survival surgery and post-anesthetic/post-operative monitoring.

Nikki Shariat, assistant professor in UGA’s College of Veterinary Medicine, examines a petri dish containing Salmonella culture. Shariat created CRISPR-SeroSeq, which increases the power of food safety tests by ramping up their sensitivity for identifying multiple strains of Salmonella, including those that make people and animals sick. Using CRISPR-SeroSeq, she hopes to predict which serotypes will be of most concern and allow the poultry industry to create vaccines or other measures to fight outbreaks before they occur. Read the full story.
