Responsible Conduct of Research Program at MGH

Responsible Conduct of Research Program @ MGH

Responsible conduct of research (RCR) training is required of students, trainees, and investigators with career development awards who are supported by NIH funds. In addition, the National Science Foundation (NSF) requires RCR training of undergraduates, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows with any NSF support.

In order to fulfill the RCR training requirement Mass General Brigham developed a curriculum that must be completed by all awardees. Once you have attended the Mass General Brigham Seminar awardees must obtain an additional 4 credits. MGH offers sessions that are RCR-credit eligible to complete the remaining 4credits (1 credit = 1 hour).
