Research Integrity

The Office of Research Integrity (ORI) oversees research integrity activities for the Public Health Service (PHS), including investigations into research misconduct in research supported by PHS. Their site includes general RCR resources, as well as topic-specific resources for the nine core areas of research integrity identified by NIH. Materials include interactive videos, case studies, web modules, and relevant publications. This site may be of particular relevance to those investigators who are supported by NIH funds. See especially the ORI Introduction to the Responsible Conduct of Research by Nicholas H. Steneck (illustrations by David Zinn).

This program requires subscription (except RCR). It includes coursework in:

Basic Courses in the Protection of Human Research Subjects.
- Biomedical Focus
- Social and Behavioral Focus
- Refresher Courses
- Good Clinical Practice Course
Health Information Privacy and Security Course (HIPS)
Laboratory Animal Welfare Courses for investigators and IACUC Members
