RESPONSIBLE CONDUCT OF RESEARCH COURSE (RCR)*
After August 31, 2026, RCR courses will no longer be available through the Bioethics Research Center due to loss of funding. We do not know how the university plans to help scholars fulfill their RCR training requirements. You may find more information regarding training on the OVCR’s website.
The RCR course is designed to satisfy the National Institutes of Health Requirement for Instruction in the Responsible Conduct of Research. It may also be incorporated into plans to satisfy National Science Foundation RCR training requirements.
The BRC provides training to more than 100 scholars at Washington University each year.
