Responsible Conduct of Research training Feb. 26 via Zoom
Feb. 2, 2026
Responsible Conduct of Research training will be offered via Zoom on Thursday, Feb. 26, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The training is provided by the Office of Research Integrity. This workshop fulfills the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health requirements for formal RCR instruction. RCR is a required training for undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers supported by NSF awards. It is an NIH requirement that all BLaST Mentors, Scholars, UREs and other funded projects participate in RCR training.
RCR training covers core norms, principles, regulations and rules governing the practice of research. RCR is a highly recommended “best practices” course for those desiring to deepen their knowledge of ethical research and responsible conduct. It is also an excellent professional opportunity for anyone interested in furthering a career in research. UAF's RCR training is open to all UAF-, UAS- and Ilisagvik-affiliated individuals (faculty, graduate students, staff, and undergraduates).
This training is a two-part training. Part One requires completing an online CITI Training module, and Part Two requires participating in RCR training. You must complete both parts to receive your RCR certificate.
