Howard University
Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR)
Training Workshop
 

The Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Workshop is designed to provide graduate students with information and training on research ethics and integrity.   The objective of the RCR workshop is to discuss and provide knowledge-based tools to address the often complex issues which confront scholars during the course of their research careers.  

The lecture-discussion based two-half day workshops are offered each semester of the academic year.    The topics include 9 core areas associated with research ethics and integrity:  

Guidelines and Regulations
Research Misconduct
Institutional Review Board (IRB) / Human and Animal Subjects
Ethical Reasoning / Conflict of Interest
Data Management
Authorship and Publication Practices / Collaborative Research
Mentorship  

Graduate students are required to successfully complete the RCR workshop prior to advancing to candidacy.   The suggested time to take the RCR workshop for Master’s and Ph.D. students is during the fall semester of the second year of residence.
