Welcome to the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) home page. At Miami University, we are committed to the development and enhancement of sound and ethical practices in research and scholarship among our faculty, staff and students. As research and federal regulations continue to evolve, issues of research integrity remain a key focus of information and training for the university community.

In light of this effort, the Office for the Advancement of Research and Scholarship has implemented an RCR Program to inform and support high professional and ethical standards of research at Miami University. It is our belief that through awareness and training of RCR issues, Miami faculty, students and staff will further enhance their overall learning experience as members of our academic community.
