Responsible Conduct of Research Training
May 2020: The Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) Program updated their Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) modules to include new videos with a fresh and more modern appeal.
January 2010: The National Science Foundation (NSF) began requiring training in the responsible conduct of research for all staff involved in NSF funded projects. The NSF mandate requires all undergraduate, graduate students, and post-docs receive training in the responsible conduct of research, including human subject research and lab animal welfare, prior to working on any NSF funded projects.
