All researchers are expected to engage in a responsible conduct of research training as an essential component of promoting research excellence.
Principal Investigators (PIs) are responsible for:
- Identifying those individuals working on their sponsored projects who must receive RCR training
- Determining the most appropriate format, content and instruction for RCR training in line with sponsor requirements
- Determining if a funder has requirements for RCR and developing a RCR plan that meets those specific requirements
- Reporting as required under the terms of the specific funding program
- Submitting a RCR training plan prior to the expenditure of any sponsored research funds
- Maintaining documentation of completion of RCR training for all applicable personnel
