Research Ethics & Responsible Conduct of Research
Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR)
RCR is the ongoing process of reconciling regulations, guidelines, standards, and ethics to promote integrity in the proposing, planning, conducting, reporting, and reviewing of research. The Office of
Research Integrity (ORI) oversees and directs Public Health Services (PHS)
research integrity activities and provides a number of resources in support of
responsible conduct of research.
