UF 2020 Summer Seminar Series: Research Integrity and the Responsible Conduct of Research

This summer, UF Research Integrity, in collaboration with Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) on Campus, is hosting a seminar series on Research Integrity and the Responsible Conduct of Research. Participants may enroll in one class, the whole series, or any combination of classes. If participants enroll in and attend the full series, they will earn an RCR certificate, satisfying NSF and USDA RCR requirements. Classes are open to all UF faculty, staff, and graduate students. Due to the high demand, the deadline for enrollment in all classes is June 15, 2020 or when the registration cap is reached. There is no fee to participate in the seminars or to receive the certificate. If you would like to participate, be sure to register soon at https://research.ufl.edu/summer-seminar-series.html.

The series will cover a wide variety of topics including the research lifecycle, research misconduct, peer review, as well as publishing and authorship. Each seminar will be 1-2 hours and held via Zoom.

If students are in Honors, they are more than welcome to sign up!
