Excellence Through Integrity: Defining RCR

Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) is the ethical and professional framework that ensures the credibility and integrity of scholarly work. More than a compliance requirement, RCR reflects a commitment to transparency, objectivity, and respect across the entire research process, spanning study design and data collection through mentorship, collaboration, and publication.

At NC State, RCR education helps researchers meet federal sponsor requirements while building a culture where integrity is embedded in every stage of the research enterprise, contributing knowledge that benefits the University and the public.

NC State’s RCR program addresses a broad range of research integrity topics, including:

  • Plagiarism
  • Peer Review
  • Authorship
  • Research Misconduct
  • Collaborative Research
  • Research Security & Transparency
  • Conflicts of Interest
