UAlbany's Commitment to Responsible Conduct of Research
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), in NOT-OD-10-019, defines responsible conduct of research as "the practice of scientific investigation with integrity — it involves the awareness and application of established professional norms and ethical principles in the performance of all activities related to scientific research."
The University at Albany is committed to a culture of integrity and ensures compliance with appropriate formal training requirements for the responsible conduct of research and scholarship as part of this commitment.
All investigators with NIH, NSF or USDA funding are required to complete the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training. Review Required Trainings for detailed instructions on creating and managing CITI accounts.
Additional in-person training is required for any NIH training/K awards and NSF awards supporting post-doctoral trainees and graduate students. Individual plans are available with the award documents. Please refer to our RCR Training policy and procedures.
