NC TraCS Institute is sponsoring a Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) course on July 14-16, 2026, from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. each day. This course covers all NIH-required topics for the first phase of responsible conduct of research training.

***Individuals who have had prior RCR training may volunteer to serve as discussion leaders for the course to document ongoing RCR exposure. For example, if you are a K Scholar who needs ongoing RCR experience for your grant, this is an opportunity that would qualify. If you are interested, please email Susan Pusek at susan_pusek@med.unc.edu.*** 

To receive credit for course completion, participants must attend all three sessions.

Important: Please register using the email address you intend to use to access the course. This ensures accurate tracking and delivery of your certificate.

This course will be held in-person in room TBD on UNC- Chapel Hill campus (location will be updated once room availability is confirmed). A remote participation option via Zoom can be requested, if needed. Requests for remote participation will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and should be sent to Paige Gray at paige_gray@med.unc.edu.

If you have questions regarding this event, please contact Paige Gray at paige_gray@med.unc.edu or Susan Pusek at susan_pusek@med.unc.edu.
