Responsible Conduct of 研究(RCR)
As a university community of scholars, it is important that our research and scholarship is conducted and shared with integrity and in compliance with ethics in research. The 办公室 研究 promotes research integrity, compliance and quality research within the University community. This is achieved partly through education and training programs provided on research involving human subjects and animals. Federal guidelines require Responsible Conduct of 研究 (RCR) training for all researchers participating in government-funded projects (NSF, 美国国立卫生研究院和美国农业部).
The 办公室 研究 require all students involved in sponsored research to complete RCR training. 这包括 在内部 funded research (e.g., 教师 研究 Grants and 本科 研究 奖学金) and 外部 funded research (e.g., governmental departments and private and corporate foundations). 另外, 荣誉 students are required to complete this training when conducting research relating to their thesis.
