RCR Program: Research Integrity

Offered by the Massachusetts General Hospital Division of Clinical Research

Speaker: Kele Piper, Director, Research Compliance

Responsible conduct of research (RCR) training is required of students, trainees, and investigators with career development awards who are supported by NIH funds. In addition, the National Science Foundation (NSF) requires RCR training of undergraduates, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows with any NSF support. In order to fulfill the RCR training requirement MGB developed a curriculum that must be completed by all awardees. Once you have attended the 4-hour MGB RCR Seminar the awardees must obtain an additional 4 credits. MGH offers sessions that are RCR-credit eligible to complete the remaining 4 credits (1 credit = 1 hour).

*MGB RCR Program has 3 parts: Part 1- RCR Seminar, Part 2 – CITI RCR Basic Course, Part 3 – 4 additional RCR credits. The courses advertised here can be used as part of the 4 additional RCR credits. Please email Tiereny Morrison-Rohlfs with questions regarding the above courses.

Please email Claire Hunter with questions regarding part 1 or 2 of the MGB RCR Program.
