Responsible Conduct of Research: Departmental Forum

Catalog description

Beyond RCR training, Orientation training, PhD students must earn 6 additional credits of RCR training during their first three years of study. Departments, programs, or research centers can propose and offer more discipline-specific training for credit when pre-approved by the Associate Dean. Topics vary widely, but should relate to The Graduate School's RCR topics (academic integrity, conflict of interest, mentor/advisee roles, human or animal subjects, proper use of data, fiscal or social responsibility), and to ethical issues encountered when conducting research in the discipline.
