Policy on Responsible Conduct of Research and Research Integrity

Please be aware of the University Policy regarding student training in responsible conduct of research.

All students must have foundational training in the Responsible Conduct of Research. This expectation applies to all types of research and research settings, including but not limited to laboratory research; literature research; internet research; field research; research using human subjects or animals; and computer-based, computational, and theoretical research. Training should occur within the first two weeks of the research project. This foundational requirement can be met by having the student take and pass (>80%) the appropriate CITI RCR on-line course prior to doing research at the University. The CITI courses are found at www.citiprogram.org. Students must take a refresher course if 2 years or more have elapsed since the previous documented RCR training.
