The Graduate College, in partnership with the Division of Research, offers a series of workshops each fall and spring semester on the Responsible Conduct of Research for all currently-enrolled graduate students at FAU. The workshops are led by FAU faculty and cover the nine instructional areas of RCR.

Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) is a mandatory course for all students working on NSF or NIH-funded programs.

• Sessions for fall are tentatively scheduled to take place on Fridays in September (Session 1) and Tuesdays in October (Session 2).
  

All four components are mandatory in order to receive certification of completion. You may choose classes from either Session 1 or Session 2 to work with your schedule as long as you complete all four mandatory components. Lunch will be provided at 11:45 at no cost. You must register in advance as seating is limited.

Note: All classes to be held in the Student Services Building, Room 132. Lunch served at 11:45. Workshop starts promptly at noon and ends at 1:50.

To obtain the most benefit from the RCR workshops, students should complete CITI online training prior to attending RCR workshops. Please note that CITI training need be completed only once and covers general RCR education. In conjunction with CITI training, FAU’s RCR workshops offer more specific instruction and satisfy NSF and NIH requirements.

For questions about the RCR workshops at FAU, please contact pgarrido@fau.edu or 561-297-3624 (Graduate College).
