NIH Postdoctoral Fellows: Responsible Code of Conduct

These trainings are applicable for Department of Chemistry NIH Postdoctoral Fellows only.

The format for the Responsible Conduct of Research Course at MIT consists of five two-hour sessions, each of which is attended by an MIT faculty member. Each session features a fellow-lead presentation focused on a particular topic or topics related to the ethical practice of scientific research. Each presentation is followed by the presentation of case studies and a fellow-lead discussion. Prior to each session, readings are assigned both from the primary course text, “Scientific Integrity: Fourth Edition” by Francis Macrina, as well as from current journal articles and other relevant literature. Below are links to PDFs of the presentations created for previous course sessions.
