Responsible Conduct of Research
The responsible conduct of research (RCR) training is intended to sensitize students and staff involved in research to a wide range of ethical and professional issues in order to foster integrity and deter scholarly misconduct. Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training is required of all students and research staff funded by NSF or NIH. All faculty, staff, and students are welcome to participate in the training as well.
The Online curriculum through CITI provides five different courses that are tailored to specific disciplines. The five available courses include:
- CITI Biomedical Research RCR Course
- CITI Social and Behavioral Research RCR Course
- CITI Physical Science RCR Course
- CITI Humanities RCR Course
- CITI Engineering and Computing RCR Course
Note: Other ethics courses are available through CITI and you are welcome to take as many as you wish.
