Responsible Conduct of Research Deadline has Passed

Every graduate student pursuing a research degree (master’s or doctoral) is required to complete training on Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR), addressing issues of authorship, peer review, plagiarism, and research misconduct. Each student must complete online training through Cornell’s Office of Research Integrity and Assurance (ORIA) before the end of the second registered semester. If you are funded by NIH and/or NSF and/or USDA-NIFA, additional training requirements pertain to you.

Please take care of this important requirement NOW to avoid a registration hold.
