Investigators and trainees of specific NIH grant awards must receive instruction in the responsible conduct of research. Designated NIH training grant applications must include a description of the plan to provide trainees with formal and informal instruction on scientific integrity and ethical principles in research. Plans for RCR instruction must address the subject matter, format, degree of faculty participation, trainee attendance, and the frequency of instruction.

For purposes of proposal development, template language has been created for use in outlining RCR training on campus.

These items constitute the fundamentals of Research Conduct of Research (RCR) as identified by the federal Office of Research Integrity. These nine (9) areas of RCR must be considered in the conduct of research:

• Data Acquisition, Management, Sharing, and Ownership   
  • Research Data Management Practices Policy 
  • Laboratory Notebook Ownership and Data Management Policy 
  • Laboratory Notebooks: Best Principles and Best Standards 
  • Written Agreement on Disposition of Research Data and/or Lab Notebooks 
  •                
• Conflict of Interest and Commitment
  • Conflict of Interest and Conflict of Commitment Policy
• Human Subjects
• Animal Welfare
• Research Misconduct
  • Research Misconduct Policy
  • Resources: Image Manipulation
    •  
    •  
    •  
• Publication Practices and Responsible Authorship
  • Policy on Authorship and Publication
  • Guidance on Authorship Dispute Resolution 
  • Author's Checklist for Preparation of Publications   
  •
