Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research

ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½

Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research (RECR) is essential to the conduct of research and teaching at ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, and federal granting agencies are now requiring that grantees certify to having institutional plans in place to provide training and oversight in the responsible and ethical conduct of research to students, faculty and staff members.

The  ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research Policy and the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research Plan provide information about RECR and RECR educational opportunities, and outline the roles and responsibilities of the various parties involved in RECR at ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½. RECR training is available to ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ students, faculty and staff members through online course modules of the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) of the University of Miami.
