Description

Organizations have the ability to make an internal determination about the type of training that satisfies the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF), and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) training requirements. These facilitator guides help individuals develop and facilitate in-person or virtual RCR training sessions on mentoring, data management, peer review, and authorship. Each guide provides recommended learning objectives, prep work, a video case study to use in a training session, tips and prompts for facilitating productive discussions, alternative scenarios to enhance discussions, other topics to explore during discussions, polling questions to initiate discussions and engage with learners, and potential evaluation questions for learners. These guides complement CITI Program’s RCR Basic and RCR Refresher online courses, which provide comprehensive training on the core norms, principles, regulations, and rules governing the practice of research.
