The Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Education Office in Research Integrity & Compliance in the Office of the Vice President for Research, is dedicated to fostering a culture of ethical and responsible research at UConn and UConn Health. Our mission is to educate and engage the research community in ongoing dialogue about the principles and practices that underpin ethical research conduct. We are committed to promoting integrity across all areas of research, including conflict of interest, mentor–mentee relationships, research safety, collaborative research, peer review, data acquisition and analysis, data security and confidentiality, and responsible authorship and publication. To support this mission—and to meet federal requirements—the RCR Education Office aims to equip researchers with the knowledge and tools needed to uphold the highest ethical standards. Projects funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) have specific requirements regarding training in RCR.
