Responsible Conduct of Research
Personal Responsibility in Conducting Graduate Research & Advancing Your Career

Academic research is based on trust in the work of others.  Also, information generated may often be used just as readily for destructive purposes as for helping mankind in a constructive manner. Therefore, researchers have a great personal responsibility, both individually and collectively, to others.  This workshop highlights university guidelines, policies, procedures, and regulations related to institutional and public expectations about personal responsibilities and the consequences if personal actions violate or do not meet these expectations.
