This is a REd Synchronous (in-person/live) class. LIVE SESSION: Wednesday, September 2, 2026 @ 9am-10am, Zoom. Class Description: Research is frequently undertaken by researchers working together from different academic departments, multiple institutions, private industry and with the government. Many ethical challenges often arise largely due to the number of people, organizations and resources involved. Scientists and researchers may be at different stages of their careers and have different motivations for conducting research. It often becomes difficult to review the work of collaborators on interdisciplinary and multi-institutional research conducted or located in different regions of the world.
Further, there is a longstanding tension between the role of the scientist as "discoverer of how things work" and the expectations of many in society that scientists should "deliver tangible goods." In addition, governments often encourage scientists to advance specific national agendas, even though scientists…

Publication in science and academia serves several purposes. In addition to advancing the field by making new knowledge permanently and widely available to the scientific and lay communities, publication plays an integral role in an individual's career development. In this workshop, strategies for researchers and other academicians to publish their papers in well-regarded journals in their field will be presented. Several questions will be addressed including:
What criteria do editors and reviewers use in evaluating papers for publication?
What can an author do to enhance the likelihood that their manuscript will be reviewed and accepted?
What can an author do when their manuscript is rejected or unfairly evaluated?
What is considered ethical and unethical behavior when it comes to issues of authorship, peer review, data presentation, citation and discussion of the literature?
What are the rights and r…

This is a REd Synchronous (live) class. LIVE SESSION: Tuesday, September 15, 2026 @1:00pm - 2:00pm, Zoom. Class Description: In this class we will learn to provide complete and accurate information in the Report Form application for complex Unanticipated Problems. This training will take place in three parts:
1) Participants will review resources from the IRB website and federal guidelines for reporting and then review the presentation for how to apply these concepts. A short quiz will be required following the readings and presentation. 2) The class will meet synchronously to discuss case studies. 3) Participants will fill out a "dummy" report form application for practice. The message board will be used so participants can get tips and tricks from others; participants will be required to post their report and then comment on one other participant's report. This report will then be submitted. Participants will need to pass the quiz from the information in the brief video presentation and readings. You…

The responsible conduct of research (RCR) is a relatively new discipline. It is focused on the multifaceted social and ethical issues that arise in the practice of scientific research. But scientific research itself is hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of years old. Reflecting on this history of biology, chemistry, physics and medicine provides insightful exampl… Campus Wide Event: Yes.

THIS CLASS IS FOR UNDERGRADUATE & GRADUATE STUDENTS ONLY.
Class Description: Currently, it is crucial for universities that use federal funds for research activities to provide training about the responsible conduct of research. This class will provide information to increase your awareness about responsible conduct of research and research integrity. We will identify resources for you on the UU campus, as well as from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF), and federal Office of Research Integrity to promote research integrity and the responsible conduct of research that you will be able to carry into your career.
Class Objectives: By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Characterize elements of responsible conduct of research (RCR)
Define research integrity
Describe areas of research misconduct and differentiate activities t…
