RCR Training Video (33 Minutes)
Regulations:
NIH Policy: "This Notice applies to the following programs: D43, D71, F05, F30, F31, F32, F33, F34, F37, F38, K01, K02, K05, K07, K08, K12, K18, K22, K23, K24, K25, K26, K30, K99/R00, KL1, KL2, R25, R36, T15, T32, T34, T35, T36, T37, T90/R90, TL1, TU2, and U2R." "This policy also applies to any other NIH-funded programs supporting research training, career development, or research education that require instruction in responsible conduct of research as stated in the relevant funding opportunity announcements."
Allows for training by video-conference, but an in-person face-to-face component is also required. Updated subject matter components (see listing at link above).
"NSF expects institutions to be able to verify that those students (undergraduates and graduates) and postdoctoral researchers who receive NSF funds (support from salary and/or stipends to conduct research on NSF grants) will obtain RCR training. However, NSF anticipates that institutions will develop their RCR training programs in a manner that helps prepare the next generation of researchers, including the consideration of risks or other factors associated with student and postdoctoral researcher participation in research."
"The RCR training requirement applies to new proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 4, 2010, to conduct research, which excludes, for example, conference, symposium, workshop, or travel proposals."
"The RCR training plan must be in place at the time of proposal submission."
"In accordance with sections 2, 3, and 8 of 2 CFR Part 422, institutions that conduct USDA-funded extramural research must foster an atmosphere conducive to research integrity, bear primary responsibility for prevention and detection of research misconduct, and maintain and effectively communicate and train their staff regarding policies and procedures." "The general content of the ethics training will, at a minimum, emphasize three key areas of research ethics: authorship and plagiarism, data and research integration, and reporting misconduct."
Online Training: Students and faculty can access CITI courses at CITI Program for the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR)
There are 3 different online courses for the Responsible Conduct of Research:

- Social and Behavioral Responsible Conduct of Research Course 1. (ID: 31480)
- Physical Science Responsible Conduct of Research Course 1. (ID: 31481)
Please choose the course appropriate to your discipline/project. More information about online training courses can be found on the ORSP training website
