Responsible Conduct of Research training
Responsible Conduct of Research is a required training for undergraduate students,
graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers supported by NSF awards. The next
available session will be Sept. 30 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and Oct. 3 from 1-4:30
p.m.
RCR training covers core norms, principles, regulations, and rules governing the practice
of research. RCR is a highly recommended “best practices” course for those desiring
to deepen their knowledge of ethical research and responsible conduct. It is also
an excellent professional opportunity for anyone interested in furthering a research
career.
This workshop fulfills the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of
Health requirements for formal RCR instruction. It is an NIH requirement that all
BLaST Mentors, Scholars, UREs, and other funded projects participate in RCR training.
UAF RCR training is open to all ķƵ-, UAS- and Ilisagvik-affiliated individuals (faculty,
graduate students, staff, and undergraduates).
This training is a two-part training. Part one requires you to complete an online
CITI Training module, and part two requires you to participate in RCR training. You
must complete both parts to receive your RCR certificate. Email Carla McCain in the Office of Research Integrity to sign up!
