The RCR Education Seminar Series will give graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, faculty, and staff the knowledge and tools to guide them through the increasingly complex ethical issues they will face during their careers. Attendees will become aware of established norms and ethical principles for responsible scholarly conduct. Attendees will learn how to apply the principles and norms to their own work and conduct their research with integrity. This session will be taught and facilitated by experts on each particular seminar topic. Time will be provided for discussion and Q&A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RCR education is required for all graduate students with a research thesis or dissertation.<\/strong> Attending 3 seminars of the RCR sessions satisfies the URI Graduate School requirement for RCR education.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
