Welcome
The RCRS website provides links to materials about important issues in the responsible and professional conduct of research and scholarship. It includes links to other comprehensive websites that provide teaching materials, modules, and case studies organized around key topics. It also has links to policies, articles, and other material that can be downloaded, and titles of particularly useful books available in the University Library.
This is intended to give faculty access to useful materials for teaching undergraduates, graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows. Faculty may use these links to find additional materials about practices and issues specific to individual disciplines and fields, as well as material about Federal regulations and government, institutional, and professional oversight and review mechanisms.

The RCRS website allows faculty to find materials appropriate to their broad academic area: biological and health sciences; physical sciences and engineering; social sciences and education; and humanities and arts. While some material is directed primarily at research questions particular to each of these four broad areas, other resources have wider applicability to other areas.
Participate
Faculty are encouraged to submit information about other resources that might be included in this website.
