MICHR will offer the popular Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) for K Awardees this winter/spring. RCR4K is a seminar that is designed to meet the requirements of the NIH K-23, or any federal or non-federal career development grant. To ensure compliance with NIH regulations, these sessions will be in-person, at NCRC.

While current K scholars and K applicants will be given registration priority, the series is open to all U-M faculty, staff, and students to meet their needs in learning more about Responsible Conduct of Research topics. Topics will be focused on the needs of early-career investigators but may be relevant to others. Participants should register only for the sessions they wish to attend.

The 5-session (10 hour) seminar is focused on addressing RCR issues (ethics, integrity, and regulatory matters) that are likely to arise in the course of your own funded research. It’s relevant, interactive, and includes mentoring from experienced faculty.
***Our aim is to provide an outstanding experience for all attendees. If you require reasonable accommodations to attend this workshop, please contact the organizer at least two weeks in advance of the event.
