Tuition Remission Procedure:
Graduate student tuition remission may be charged to federally sponsored research awards at Lehigh University as an allowable direct cost provided the following conditions are met:
1. The student is receiving a stipend to conduct activities necessary to the federal award; and
2. The tuition remission is a reasonable compensation for the work performed and is conditioned explicitly upon the performance of necessary work; and
3. During the academic period, the student is enrolled in an advanced degree program at a non-Federal entity or affiliated institution and the activities of the student in relation to the federal award are related to the degree program
4. it is the institution’s practice to similarly compensate students in non-sponsored as well as sponsored activities
Unlike salaries and wages, tuition remission must be excluded from the application of indirect costs [Uniform Guidance §200.466].

Training Materials
All undergraduate and graduate research assistants, post-doctoral researchers, and principal investigator faculty members receiving external research funding from NSF and NIH are required to undergo Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training within their discipline category. Training is required when funding is the result of proposals submitted after January 4, 2010. RCR training must be successfully completed within 30 days of the individual’s start date on the research project.
| Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Training Requirements |
All PHS funded Investigators including sub-recipient Investigators, must complete fCOI training prior to engaging in any PHS funded research and at least every four (4) years thereafter. Once the CITI course is complete, scores and completion reports are sent directly to the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP). ORSP maintains records of completion.
