There will be four 1.5 hour meetings, three 1.5 hour group sessions and the final meeting will be a panel discussion.

RCR Retraining:
"Reflection on responsible conduct of research should recur throughout a scientist’s career: at the undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, predoctoral, postdoctoral, and faculty levels. . . .  Instruction must be undertaken at least once during each career stage, and at a frequency of no less than once every four years . . . To meet the above requirements, instruction in responsible conduct of research may take place, in appropriate circumstances, in a year when the trainee, fellow or career award recipient is not actually supported by an NIH grant." (Notice Number: NOT-OD-10-019).

Next Offering:  June 10th, 2013, 1:00-4:00 PM
School of Medicine Auditorium, MED 1110 Learning Studio (Claude Moore Education Bldg.)
