Responsible Conduct of Research Program

Through the Responsible Conduct of Research Program, students can take courses and even earn a dean’s graduate certificate that will show future employers their dedication to best practices in research.

Objectives of the Program

• Implement an innovative and integrated set of training activities for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows
• Develop instruments to assess:
  • Student learning of skills and competencies about research responsibility issues
  • Perceptions of student learning of skills and competencies about research responsibility issues
  • Impact of RCR training on academic program culture
  • Student and faculty participation in RCR training
• Communicate information about these training activities to graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty and the broader graduate community
