Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research

Research Integrity and Compliance

黑料社区

Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research (RECR) is essential to the conduct of research and teaching at UNC, and federal granting agencies are now requiring that grantees certify to having institutional plans in place to provide training and oversight in the responsible and ethical conduct of research to students, faculty and staff members.

The  UNC Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research Policy and the UNC Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research Plan provide information about RECR and RECR educational opportunities, and outline the roles and responsibilities of the various parties involved in RECR at UNC. RECR training is available to UNC students, faculty and staff members through online course modules of the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) of the University of Miami.

Funding agencies recognize the importance of the responsible and ethical conduct of research (RECR) to maintain the public trust in the research enterprise. Institutions receiving funding from the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health are required to have a plan in place for providing appropriate training and oversight in the responsible and ethical conduct of research to undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral researchers involved in grant funded research.
