Responsible Conduct of Research Courses

RCR Courses

The Graduate School instituted a requirement for all doctoral students to complete a course focused on the responsible conduct of research. The National Institute of Health had determined that on-line training did not replace the need for face-to-face training. Although many students and faculty are required to complete the on-line CITI research training, the Graduate School sought to address the concerns raised by NIH.  The result was the creation of a GRAD course on RCR, GRAD 8302.  Some programs decided to create their own course to meet the RCR requirement. As long as a course covered the nine areas of research outlined by NIH, the courses were approved.  Currently, the following courses meet this requirement:

  • GRAD 8240
  • PHIL 8240
  • BIOL 8260
  • BDBA 8100
  • BDBA 8120
  • RSCH 8210
  • GRAD 8131
  • PSYCH 8107
  • OSCI 8102 
  • PSYC 8102
  • HLTH 8601
  • PPOL 8602
  • SPED 8671

When taken together, these NUDN courses meet the requirement:

  • NUDN 8441
  • NUDN 8442
  • NUDN 8443
  • NUDN 8444
  • NUDN 8160
  • NUDN 8260
