NIH Required Training for T32 Trainees:

Responsible Code of Research (RCR) Training Opportunities at UNC-CH

The UNC Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (UNC OPA) offers semi-annual RCR training programs (usually in the Spring and in the Fall) tailored to postdoctoral research fellows, postdoctoral research trainees, and postdoctoral research associates. This RCR training meets requirements both for the NIH and NSF.

The RCR programs through the UNC OPA meet NIH requirements for RCR training for individuals supported by T32/T90 institutional training grants and individual NRSAs (F32).

NC TraCS Responsible Conduct of Research offers annually an RCR training course consisting of 3 days during the summer (i.e., July) open to all individuals engaged in research and includes students, postdocs, faculty and staff. The course covers 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 if needed for training grants. This RCR training meets requirements for both the NIH and NSF.

UNC Rigor and Reproducibility Series (R&R):
Monthly R&R Series, offered the first Monday 4-5pm every month.  Session information details will be emailed to current Hematology T32 Trainees to register.
