The University of Delaware Research Office and the Graduate College will host the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) conference on Wednesday, Feb. 5, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Tower at STAR Audion. Registration closes Jan. 29.

All members of the UD research community are encouraged to participate in this RCR training opportunity. Federal funding agencies have distinct RCR training requirements. It is the responsibility of faculty/principal investigators to ensure that all personnel funded on their project and required to complete RCR training do so in a timely manner. Visit the registration page for agency-specific requirements.

The conference agenda includes an overview of the basic principles and regulations that apply to the responsible conduct of research, from ethical considerations, to requirements related to the involvement of human or animal subjects. Other topics include authorship and plagiarism, intellectual property, data management, laboratory safety, export control laws, and disclosure and management of potential conflicts of interest. Participants will learn about guidelines and resources available at UD to conduct research ethically and responsibly.
