Investigator Orientation: Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR)
Monday, November 4th
Research Education is pleased to announce that the course “Investigator Orientation: Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR)” has been scheduled as part of the Research Administration Training Series (RATS) on Monday, November 4th from 2:00PM to 4:00PM in the Health Sciences Education Building (HSEB), Room 2110 (CLICK HERE to register).
The proper conduct and reporting of research is of paramount importance at the University of Utah as noncompliance can result in severe penalties to the institution, the individual(s), and their reputations. Continued education and heightened awareness of ethical issues contributes to fostering a "culture of compliance" throughout the University research community. Participants will become familiar with federal regulations, professional standards and University policies regarding research integrity and responsibilities, ethics and compliance obligations, personal conflicts of interest, and issues related to authorship and peer review. An overview of case history, procedures for suspected abuse, potential sanctions for noncompliance, and the requirements for completing a conflict of interest disclosure form will be discussed.
