Responsible Conduct of Research Resources

Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) is a framework for ethical and professional standards in planning, conducting, and reporting research, as defined by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Below is a collection of case studies, articles, and other resources to help you better understand RCR and its connection to key areas of research practice and oversight at Case Western Reserve University.  Additional resources are available from the Office of Research Integrity (ORI).
