Such issues may include ownership of data, what constitutesplagiarism, and considerations when involving human subjects in their research. As graduatestudents face such issues in their research and scholarly work, it is important that they areprepared to address them.         The University of New Hampshire’s Graduate School recently received a $15,000 grant todevelop and promote graduate education in the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) atUNH.  UNH’s proposal was one of 10 funded nationwide by the Council of Graduate Schoolsand the Office of Research Integrity. RCR education is a growing movement within academiaand the research community to more formally integrate instruction in best practices, guidelines,and regulations pertaining to the conduct of research into curricula and professionaldevelopment.  It also emphasizes the development of critical thinking skills to address decision-making around ethical dilemmas where there is not necessarily a right answer.          Activities supported by the grant will complement work ongoing at UNH since 2001 in the areaof RCR. The grant will help the university formalize training by establishing a graduate course inResponsible Conduct of Research as well as help to establish an academic program inprofessional practice.  Harry Richards, dean of the Graduate School, noted that this innovativeprogram will be a great step forward in research ethics education at UNH as well as serve as amodel for other institutions. For more information on UNH’s RCR initiative, contact JulieSimpson in the Office of Sponsored Research at (603) 862-2003 or Julie.simpson@unh.edu.
