Researcher and Research Support Screening

In compliance with Florida Statute 1010.35, all candidates for researcher and research support positions must undergo additional screening. This process is managed jointly by UF Human Resources (UFHR) and UF Research Integrity, Security, and Compliance (RISC).

These positions include individuals engaged in research-related activities at UF, such as:

  • Conducting research
  • Creating research materials
  • Receiving research training
  • Managing research data
  • Controlling access to sensitive data

These roles are not determined by the source of funding and may include scholarly activities.

Temporary or OPS positions performing research-related duties (except OPS students) also require screening and are generally categorized as OPS-Sponsored Project Non-Clerical.
