What is this service?
Responsible Conduct of Research for K Awardees (RCR4K) is a four-session seminar exploring the responsible conduct of research. The seminar is designed for early career faculty members who have been awarded a career development (K) award by their institution, the NIH, or another entity.
The seminar sessions guide participants through a six-step process to identify and manage an ethics or integrity issue in their own study or research area. This implementation package, including a detailed implementation guide, handouts, slide sets, and train-the-trainer materials, is available for download. Educators can offer this seminar to help their trainees meet the NIH (NSF) eight-hour face-to-face RCR education requirement.
If you are interested in accessing the RCR4K for educational purposes, please visit the Office of Technology Transfer website and search for Nicholas Steneck in Researchers to complete the licensing process. If you have any questions regarding the process or license, feel free to email umsoftware@umich.edu.
