RCR Seminar Series

Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Seminar Series

IU RCR Seminar Series

The Office for Research Compliance in collaboration with IU Research and the Vice Provost for Graduate Education and Health Sciences, is pleased to continue offering the IU Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Seminar Series. While specifically designed for researchers with NIH T, K, or F awards, it is open to all members of the IU research team.

  • This series is led by faculty researchers and representatives of Office for Research Compliance, including faculty members of compliance committees.
  • Offered in two, 2-hour workshops per semester held through videoconference and managed through IU Canvas.
  • Designed to partially satisfy the NIH RCR requirement. If your research is supported by National Institutes of Health (NIH) F, K, T, or Dissertation Awards, NIH requires that all eligible researchers complete an RCR education that includes interactive program of RCR education of at least 8 hours.

National Institutes of Health published updated guidance for the requirement for instruction in the Responsible Conduct of Research on February 17, 2022.

See NIH Updated RCR requirements. Faculty who receive funding or support from any NIH training, an individual career development award, an institutional career development award, a research education grant, and/or a dissertation research grant, must receive RCR training. This applies to (NIH) F, K, T, or Dissertation Awards D43, D71, F05, F30, F31, F32, F33, F34, F37, F38, K01, K02, K05, K07, K08, K12, K18, K22, K23, K24, K25, K26, K30, K99/R00, KL1, KL2, R25, R36, T15, T32, T34, T35, T36, T37, T90/R90, TL1, TU2, and U2R.
