RCR means proposing, performing, reporting, and evaluating research in a way that merits trust by:
Meaningful education in RCR engages researchers in discussions about ethical practices to raise awareness, convey norms and expectations, develop skills, and provide resources for navigating ethical issues in research.
The goal of RCR training is to help researchers at all career stages (trainees, PIs, and senior personnel) understand the ethical implications of their practice and strengthen the cultures of integrity.
WVU offers a variety of RCR educational activities and resources, as well as support for faculty who want to develop materials and programming for their own graduate and undergraduate students.
