Responsible Conduct of Research Plan

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) requires grant applicants to address Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) in their applications. The NIH considers RCR an essential component of research training and expects grant applicants to describe plans for providing RCR education and oversight. The NSF also requires a plan for Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research (RECR).
