Responsible conduct of research (RCR) includes human research protections, laboratory animal welfare, researcher safety, student mentorship, authorship, data management/security, research misconduct, peer review, and conflict of interest in research. RCR involves shared responsibility for the responsible conduct of research among the institutional administration, the research oversight committees and the researchers. An effective RCR program includes comprehensive institutional policies and procedures for the conduct and review of research, coordination of all units (administrative offices, oversight committees, etc.) that impact the responsible conduct of research, systematic education programs in RCR and systematic quality assurance/quality improvement activities.
The Office of Research Compliance (ORC) has designed an extensive educational program to meet the regulatory requirements of both the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. Additionally, this program will meet the institutional goal of developing a university wide approach to meeting the ethical standards that it was founded upon. The RCR program has multiple components inclusive of completed two modules within CITI on RCR, attendance of live seminars, and either participation in a group forum or completion of a basic knowledge quiz.
