Research Integrity and Misconduct

Ensuring Safe and Respectful Workplaces

Researchers deserve and should expect to work in places free from harassment, discrimination, and other forms of inappropriate behavior. This NIH All About Grants podcast explores how we at NIH aim to ensure a safe and respectful workplace wherever NIH funded work is conducted. Drs. Patricia Valdez and Elyse Sullivan, Research Integrity Officers with the NIH Office of Extramural Research, explain more in this conversation.

Responsible Conduct of Research and Training

A fundamental part of one’s growth as a researcher is understanding how scientific investigation is practiced with integrity, and knowing when and how to apply professional norms and ethical principles throughout the research process. To promote research integrity, NIH-supported trainees, fellows, participants, and scholars must receive instruction in the responsible conduct of research (RCR).
