Graduate Responsible Conduct of Research Training
Invite OCR to class to discuss responsible employee policies that apply to graduate students, confidential resources on campus, what happens to a report after it is sent to OCR, and work through at least one practice scenario. Topics connect to RCR requirements related to "policies for handling misconduct," and contribute to ongoing conversations on "Safe research environments (e.g., those that promote inclusion and are free of sexual, racial, ethnic, disability and other forms of discriminatory harassment)."
Meeting or Chapter Visit
Invite OCR for 30-60 minutes to your student organization meeting to learn what happens when a report comes to OCR, supportive measures, and how we refer students to confidential resources on campus.
