The term "TB Testing" is frequently mistaken for the state-mandated "TB Risk Assessment." The State of California designed the tuberculosis (TB) risk assessment as a preventive measure to manage and control TB. These forms do not contain medical information, and ANR neither receives nor solicits any medical test results.

You can access the TB Risk Assessment form here: https://ctca.org/wp-content/uploads/TBCB-CA-School-Staff-Volunteer-TB-Risk-Assessment_updated-May-20203.pdf. For our records, ANR requires the submission of the Certificate of Completion, located on page 3 of the form. This section should be completed by a nurse practitioner, a nurse, or a doctor.

The Certificate of Completion is securely stored by ANR Risk Services. These forms can be directly sent to the school since they do not include any medical information.

If you have any questions, please reach out to PCPA directly, and we will gladly assist you through the process.

ANR utilizes Sterling for fingerprinting to conduct background checks on social security information, and a DOJ livescan background check for criminal charges, including misdemeanors and felonies. Upon clearance of the background check, employees will be required to enroll in subsequent arrest notices (SAN), which are overseen by ANR's Risk Services unit. It is not recommended for our employees to undergo a separate background check through any third party.

For more information on DOJ background check, visit Risk and Safety website at https://ucanr.edu/sites/risk/Background_Investigation_Manual/.

For additional inquiries, please reach out to PCPA directly, and we will gladly assist you in navigating through the process.

An MOU is a memorandum of understanding which is a simple agreement meant to outline a collaboration between two or more parties.

An MOU is used to clarify roles and responsibilities between the collaborating parties, while addressing liability, indemnification, insurance, and other risk factors. It is a great way for programs to begin projects with clear expectations or to aid in managing existing projects to ensure the continued success of our programs.

Bottomline, an MOU will help protect the UC, the other party, and YOU.

You should always have an MOU if you are delivering programmatic lessons, workshops, and/or activities on non-UC property, such as at a school, library, community organization, etc.

1 – The other party has a form they want use. Please fill out that form as best as possible and then send to PCPA at newagreement@ucanr.edu. PCPA will provide you with next steps and assist you through the process.

2 – The other party doesn’t have a form, please use our CNH MOU template (Located in the right column). Before sending to the other party, fill out the template as best you can and send to PCPA at newagreement@ucanr.edu. PCPA will review, provide you with next steps, and assist you through the process.

No. Only people with the delegated authority from the ANR Vice President are approved to sign these types of agreements. Please contact PCPA with any questions.

No, please have PCPA review all drafts before sending to the other party. This will save time and confusion during the review process. PCPA always needs to review before sending to the other party.

Most of the time PCPA will arrange for execution of agreement for both parties via DocuSign. In some instances, the other party has a preferred method of signature collection, but PCPA will always guide you through this process.

If you need a copy of UC’s generic certificate of self-insurance or to request a certificate of insurance for additional insured, please visit the Risk Services website on Certificates of Insurance located here: https://ucanr.edu/sites/risk/Forms_and_Waivers/Certificates_of_Insurance/.

1 – You will need an MOU. Please ask the school for their preferred form, or if they do not have one use our template (located in the right column). Fill out the best you can and send directly to PCPA at newagreement@ucanr.edu.

The Certificate of Completion is securely stored by ANR Risk Services. Typically, PCPA collaborates with Risk Services to send a letter of attestation of clearances to the relevant school(s). However, these forms can also be directly sent to the school, as they do not include any medical information.

If you have any questions, please reach out to PCPA directly, and we will gladly assist you through the process.

No, the custodian of records in Risk Services should sign the letter of attestation after they have validated clearance and subsequent arrest notices. Please contact PCPA directly at newagreement@ucanr.edu and we are happy to guide you through the process.

This question could have a very complex answer, but will require further clarification to appropriately address your concern. Please contact PCPA directly at newagreement@ucanr.edu and we are happy to help guide you through the process.

The ANR Human Resources website on abusive conduct is located here:

The UC policy on abusive conduct is located here:

The ANR policy on Prohibition on Workplace Violence is located here:
https://ucanrpolicy.ellucid.com/documents/view/165/active/.

You can also find training on abusive conduct in the workplace at the UCD Learning Center (login with your UCD credentials) here: https://lms.ucdavis.edu/.

Annual trainings are subject to UC system wide requirements, ANR specific requirements, your unit Director, and/or ANR Human Resources. These trainings are completed in the UCD Learning Center (login with your UCD credentials) located here: https://lms.ucdavis.edu. Below is a list of the statutory and policy requirements.

• Child Abuse & Neglect Reporting Act (CANRA) Acknowledgment (statutory requirement)
• Sexual Violence & Sexual Harassment for Supervisors & Academics (statutory requirements)
• Sexual Violence & Sexual Harassment for Employees (policy requirement)
• Cybersecurity Awareness (policy requirement)
• UC Ethical Values and Conduct for Principal Investigators (policy requirement)
• UC Ethical Values and Conduct for Staff (policy requirement)
• USDA Responsible Conduct of Research (USDA requirement)
• Abusive Conduct Training (policy requirement)
• CANRA LMS Training for Mandated Reporters (statutory requirement)

While we strongly prefer to use electronic signatures, “wet” signatures can be obtained. Keep in mind this process takes much longer to complete. “Wet” signatures also require the following:

1. To be mailed to the appropriate ANR person with authority to sign. PCPA will direct you on the appropriate person and address

2. Include return envelope and necessary postage with return address.

3. Print the same number of “original” copies as there are parties to the agreement (e.g., if there are two parties, you need two copies, one for each party, etc.).

4. CPA will guide you through this process

That is OK, contact PCPA and we will review the existing MOU and determine the best way to add another program. Most of the time it means drafting an agreement and including the other program’s project description/scope of work.
