For Graduate Students

Responsible Conduct of Research Training

April 1, 3 and 5, times and locations vary

Join the Office of Research Integrity and Compliance for a Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training. RCR is a widely accepted set of ethical principles and professional standards for conducting research in the university community. These standards are set forth by state and federal regulations, institutional policies, professional codes of conduct and personal convictions. RCR training is a framework for imparting these principles and standards and a critical component of scholarly and career development. RCR applies to all fields of research and we strongly encourage all academic and research units to take the training. 

The training will be completed over one morning of Zoom sessions and two mornings of in-person sessions, and breakfast will be provided on the in-person days. 

Register for the spring 2024 RCR training sessions
