The UNH Responsible Conduct of Research and Scholarly Activity (RCR) Committee announces the availability of training in the ethical and responsible conduct of research.   

 This training opportunity involves two components:

• Completion of UNH’s Web-based RCR instructional modules (available at http://www.unh.edu/rcr), followed by
• Participation in a seminar on Wednesday, May 11, 2011, 8:00-11:30 a.m. (MUB 330/332)

Modules must have been completed prior to participation in the seminar.  Successful completion of the training requires completion of both components.

This training is open to any member of the UNH community.  While it is primarily directed at postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate students, faculty and staff are invited to participate.

The training will fulfill the new National Science Foundation (NSF) mandate that all postdoctoral researchers, and undergraduate and graduate students supported by NSF to conduct research on proposals submitted on or after January 4, 2010 receive appropriate training in the ethical and responsible conduct of research.  (This training may be completed up to six months prior to employment on an eligible NSF grant.)

Interested individuals must register for the training by Wednesday, April 27, 2011.  Please complete the registration form and email it to julie.simpson@unh.edu by the deadline.
