Research Roundtable

compass pointing toward integrity

Research Roundtables are held on the third Wednesday of the month and include topical discussions on issues related to the conduct of research. The goal of the Research Roundtable is to bring together the FAU research community to learn, discuss, and crowd source these issues. Topics can range from obtaining fully effective consent from participants to best practices in data integrity.

In addition to creating a community of practice, some sessions may be eligible to Responsible Conduct of Research credits. These sessions will be identified ahead of time.*

Sessions are hosted via Zoom but are not recorded. Slides are available after sessions, as permitted.
