Responsible Conduct Of Research
The Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Program at JSU is part of the educational and training activities of the Office of Research Compliance. RCR refers to the professional and ethical responsibility of researchers to conduct their research with honesty, accuracy, efficiency, and objectivity. Our goal is to develop and make available to the JSU research community programs and materials that will increase the knowledge of and facilitate the practice of responsible research. This effort is performed in collaboration with the Office of Sponsored Programs and HAZMAT Office.
