What is "Research Integrity"?

The NIH Office of Extramural Research has created a website that explains research integrity, gives a definition of research misconduct and what is expected from researchers. This a great teaching tool.

Slide shows that explain CITI compliance training registration

Everyone likes a slide show, right? Except, maybe, for Uncle Harry's bonanza of 400 slides of his trip to the Grand Canyon.

Well, never fear. We at HARPO would rather not put you sleep, but make your introduction and registration with the compliance training programs with the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI ) a bit easier.

Currently, there are several compliance training programs to take, including Human Participant Use, Animal Care and Use and Responsible Conduct of Research.

Click on the http://www.umbc.edu/HARPO/training.htm to view the program that interests you or are required to review before conducting research. Select the slide show to view; additional registration instructions are available for download.

Let us know at HARPO@umbc.edu or 410-455-2737 if you have any questions or need more information.

P.S. - we won't tell Uncle Harry you left the room!
