Responsible Conduct of Research Training for Postdoctoral Scholars

Dey Hall - Toy Lounge 200 South Road, Chapel Hill, NC

Ongoing training in Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) is mandated by all federal granting programs including NIH and NSF. The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs is offering a two-day training course that will satisfy the RCR training requirements for the NIH and NSF research grant applications. The primary goal for the course for Postdoctoral Scholars is to address RCR topics such as Publication Practices and Responsible Authorship, Mentor/Trainee Responsibilities, Research Misconduct, and Communication and Difficult Conversations as well as familiarize postdocs with offices on campus where they can get assistance or report a concern.
