Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) can be described as good citizenship in research conduct. Faculty and staff must show integrity by reporting their work honestly and accurately. Understanding the concept of RCR is a necessity to being a successful part of research at UNC-Chapel Hill.
TraCS is sponsoring a 3-day course in RCR. The course covers all the NIH-required topics for the first phase of responsible conduct of research training including topics in a recent NIH notice (Feb 2022). Individuals who have had prior RCR training may volunteer to serve as discussion leaders for the course to document ongoing RCR exposure. This is based on need for NIH training grants.
In order to receive credit for course completion, participants must attend all three sessions. There is no charge for the course.
