A. New Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Training Documentation Requirements
Personnel can now document their RCR training in one central location via the Emory Learning Management System (ELMS).
- Postdocs and students (graduate and undergraduate) associated with NSF grants are required to document their completion of RCR training in ELMS. Personnel associated with NIH grants are strongly encouraged to do so as well. For additional information, click here.

The Office of Research Compliance will offer monthly programs involving case studies on various issues concerning responsible conduct of research. The programs will involve a presentation by the Office of Research Compliance followed by discussion and Q & A. The sessions are designed to provide attendees with exposure to responsible conduct of research issues that have arisen in research settings. No preparatory work is required. Each session will cover a different case and a different area of RCR. Emory personnel may register for as many sessions as they need.
