Series Overview

The training sessions are designed to cover the concepts of responsible conduct of research (RCR). RCR training is essential to good science. RCR promotes the aims of scientific inquiry, fosters a research environment that enables scientists to work together toward common goals, and promotes public confidence in scientific knowledge and progress for the public good.
 

Target Audience

This activity is designed for physicians and nurses, who work as investigators and other roles on research studies can benefit from education in RCR. The roles on research studies can include and are not limited to investigators, project managers, and clinical research coordinators. Other learner groups such as students, postdoctoral researchers, biostatisticians, research assistants, data coordinators and managers, study coordinators, and research administration can benefit from RCR training and refresher courses would also benefit from this education.
