Responsible Conduct in Research (RCR)

Responsible Conduct in Research (RCR) is a widely accepted set of ethical standards for conducting research. ASU is committed to maintaining the integrity fundamental to research activities through the responsible and ethical conduct of its faculty, staff, and students.

RCR Faculty Forums

There will be open forums for faculty regarding the new Responsible Conduct in Research training requirements. The new requirements begin January 4, 2010 where sponsored projects undergraduate, graduate students, and post docs will be required to complete RCR training.  Additionally, all NSF proposals will require investigators to have an accompanying RCR training plan in place at time of proposal submission.  ORIA is developing an institutional plan that investigators may choose to use and it will be disseminated as soon as possible.  Please join us for an informational meeting and discussion about the new RCR requirements. Staff will be on hand to provide implementation details and answer your questions.

Forum dates, times, and location will be posted in the near future on this website.
