National Research Service Awards (NRSAs) Requirements
It is now generally accepted that research must be conducted in
accordance with certain ethical and regulatory mandates. In order
to comply with these mandates, each institution has the obligation
to develop policies for the various aspects of research, to train
members of its research community in the areas relevant to their
activities, and to certify compliance with research policies. Taken
together, these policies and their implementation constitute a fabric
that is often called the responsible conduct of research (RCR).
For convenience, we have divided RCR into thirteen areas for education,
training, certification, and compliance.
