About these Courses

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF), and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) require certain categories of researchers to receive RCR training. However, RCR is increasingly viewed as an essential component of training regardless of a researcher’s source of funding.

RCR consists of a basic course, refresher course, communicating research findings course, and facilitator guides. While particular emphasis is given to the educational needs of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, the RCR series is suitable for any person involved in research ranging from upper-level undergraduates to established faculty and other professionals.

All content is developed and peer-reviewed by subject matter experts.

Suggested Audiences: Faculty, Postdoctoral Researchers, Principal Investigators, RCR Trainers, Staff, Students
