RCR is an important issue that has the potential to severely impact our ability to secure federal support for research and scholarship. RCR issues will become even more important for UGA as we expand experiential learning opportunities for undergraduates, many of whom will be involved in research and scholarship.

The following is a summary of events:

Thursday, Nov. 10, 12:45-4:00, Georgia Center K/L: Train the trainers, hands on session: In this session, Frank will provide training on best practices for training our undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students in the responsible conduct of research.
