Responsible Conduct of Research Manual

NHG Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Manual

Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) is and can be learned in multifarious ways and standards for RCR may vary from department to department and possibly institution to institution. In numerous instances, more than one response to a RCR situation may be considered acceptable research practice.

The NHG-RCR Manual will describe the core components of RCR (along with recommended guides to carry out research responsibly).
