UCSD
For many research and training programs, the PHS, the NSF, and other sponsors have requirements for training in the responsible conduct of research (RCR). UCSD has a variety of mechanisms to meet those requirements including RCR courses and, for researchers working with human subjects, a Web-based tutorial and classes.
If you wish to include these programs in an application for funding, please contact the Research Ethics Program, (kalichman@ucsd.edu, Michael Kalichman, Director) or UCSD Human Research Protections Program (mcaligiuri@ucsd.edu, Michael Caligiuri, Director) to design an instructional plan that will best fit your program.
In addition to courses for training in RCR, faculty affiliated with the Research Ethics Program are available to lecture or lead discussions on a wide range of topics in the ethics of research, medicine, and academia. For more information, please contact Michael Kalichman, kalichman@ucsd.edu.
