How do I know which training courses to take?

Required training is assigned based on the specific job tasks in your research lab, shop, makerspace or studio.

– If you are a member of a group hosted in BioRAFT then all required training programs are automatically assigned to you. Your BioRAFT homepage will list the training courses that are required for you to complete.

– If your group does NOT have a profile in BioRAFT, then ask your supervisor.

I’m not in a lab group. Can I take a course in BioRAFT anyway?

Yes – any member of the NU community with active credentials can take any of the online courses in BioRAFT. You can participate in scheduled classroom courses, as well, as per availability.

I am getting email reminders for a course I don’t need. Can you make them stop?

Your PI, Lab manager, Group Manager or Group Compliance Liaison is responsible for updating their member list every semester. We (OARS) do not “assign” the training, nor do we add or delete members from groups. This is the sole responsibility of the PI or manager.

– Contact that PI, lab manager, or group compliance liaison if your membership in a lab/group is inaccurate and ask them to remove you from the list.

– Your group memberships are listed on the left side panel on your BIORAFT homepage. 

I am in a lab group but am assigned a course I don’t need. What do I do?

Your PI, Lab manager, or Group Compliance Liaison determines job activity assignments in BioRAFT. Contact them to update your settings. Job activity assignments trigger training requirements.
