What is your plan for meeting the NIH requirement for Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training for K awardees? There is a one-course solution uniquely tailored to your needs:

Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) for K Awardees

Open to University of Michigan faculty and staff. Current K scholars and K applicants will be given registration priority.

MICHR will offer the popular Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) for K Awardees this winter, a seminar that is designed to meet the requirements of the NIH K-23, or any federal or non-federal career development grant. To ensure compliance with NIH regulations, these sessions will be in-person, at NCRC Building 300, Room #376

The 5-session (10 hour) seminar is mostly interactive, practice-based, and focused on addressing RCR issues (ethics, integrity, and regulatory matters) that have arisen in the course of your own funded research. It's relevant, hands-on, and includes mentoring from experienced faculty.

Important information about this seminar:

The NIH requires a minimum of 8 hours of face-to-face training. Link to requirements: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-10-019.html

Scholars may attend sessions to fulfill some or all of the NIH training requirement.
