Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research

Graduate

MICR 700 is required for all first-year Molecular and Cellular Biology graduate students and is open to postdoctoral fellows in the biomedical sciences who need to complete RECR training for NIH-sponsored research. Developed by the Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies and Dartmouth’s Ethics Institute, the discussion-based course uses case studies to explore professionalism, authorship, intellectual property, mentoring, data integrity, research subjects, and scientific rigor. Faculty from core science departments facilitate the five two-hour sessions. Each session includes preparatory readings and active dialogue on the ethical responsibilities of researchers to their discipline and society.
