Responsible conduct of research (RCR) is defined as the practice of scientific investigation with integrity (NIH, NOT-OD-10-019). Learning about the responsible conduct of research is an essential component of research education and training. This course is designed to provide biomedical science graduate students and postdoctoral scholars an "awareness and application of established professional norms and ethical principles in the performance of all activities related to scientific research" (NIH, NOT-OD-10-019). Course materials include readings, videos, and case studies. Discussions will occur in small-group sessions offered at many times throughout the semester with a faculty member. This course will comply with the National Institutes of Health, requiring a minimum of eight hours of face-to-face instruction in the responsible conduct of research.
