Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Training

Ethical standards and responsible practices are essential for successful scientific research. At any step in the research process, researchers may need to address ethical issues in a thoughtful, responsible manner. The CTSI Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Center serves as a resource for researchers at the University of Pittsburgh. Our objective is to provide education so that researchers can learn to effectively recognize and avoid research misconduct while informing them of the resources that are available to support research.
