•  Training for certifiers is mandatory.
•  "Certifiers" are: Faculty, academic staff, and PIs with effort on sponsored projects. These individuals certify their own effort. PIs certify for graduate students, postdocs, and non-PI classified staff who work on their projects.
•  We strongly recommend completing the training BEFORE certifying with the new ECRT system.
•  Each certifier must complete the training within 90 days of the first date on which a statement is available for certifying in ECRT.
Your first certification period Certification starts on... Training must be completed by...
January - June 2007 November 1, 2007 January 30, 2008
