The Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Program at Boston College is part of the educational and outreach activities of the Office for Research Integrity and Compliance. Our goal is to develop and make available to the Boston College research community programs and materials that will increase the knowledge of and facilitate the practice of responsible research. This effort is undertaken in cooperation with other offices at Boston College including the Office for Human Research Participant Protection, the Office for Sponsored Programs, and the Office of Environmental Health and Safety.

The following pages are designed to give researchers in all academic disciplines easy access to resources concerned with research integrity:

• Topics in RCR
• Guidelines, Policies, and Regulations
• Programs (workshops and seminars)
• Ethics Codes

Humanities
Social Sciences
Natural Sciences

For administrative staff members, Administrators and the Responsible Conduct of Research provides an online source of information and resources.

Of particular interest to members of the Boston College research community:

• Mission,
• Principles of Research Integrity,
• Faculty Handbook,
• Research and Projects Policy,
• Research Integrity Policy and Guidelines on Misconduct, and
• Academic Integrity Policy
