First Biennial ORI Conference on

Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Education, Instruction, and Training

April 17-19, 2008
Washington University ~ St. Louis, MO

Background

The Office of Research Integrity has devoted considerable time and resources to programs aimed at strengthening and assessing responsible conduct of research (RCR) education, instruction and training (EIT). It supports the development of RCR instructional resources and has published the ORI Introduction to the Responsible Conduct of Research (hard copy and web versions). ORI has also undertaken RCR-related efforts with the Council of Graduate Schools, the Society of Research Administrators (SRA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), and, most recently, the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB). ORI also has sponsored four biennial Research on Research Integrity conferences, which have included papers on RCR EIT.

Conference Objectives

Despite widespread support for RCR EIT by ORI and others, little is known about how it is delivered or its effectiveness. The primary objectives of this first and what is hoped will be a series of biennial conferences is to convene a broadly representative gathering of teachers, researchers, research administrators, and scholars for the purpose of:

sharing resources

developing and evaluating models for across-the-curriculum approaches to RCR EIT

encouraging collaboration with NIH training grant and CTSA programs, NSF IGERT programs, and other research training programs

discussing and evaluating ways to assess the outcomes of RCR EIT.
