Responsible Conduct of Research Training

The ICTS offers a two-day intensive Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training annually every fall for any scholar or trainee needing to complete NIH RCR requirements for a grant application or other training needs. This two-day training satisfies all competencies and criteria developed by NIH and expands the depth in which trainees and scholars are exposed to RCR. The content and format of this course combines lecture, discussion, case studies, flipped-classroom modules, and active learning.
