RESPONSIBLE CONDUCT OF RESEARCH TRAINING
AT THE WAKE FOREST BAPTIST MEDICAL CENTER

Wake Forest considers education in the responsible conduct of research (RCR) to be an essential part of our research community’s commitment to excellence. Broadly, these programs apply to trainees and the faculty who train them, and they meet or exceed the expectations established for trainees supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF).


U.S. Federal Standards and Requirements for RCR

Biomedical research trainees funded by various federal agencies must receive RCR training, e.g., NIH  and NSF.

Wake Forest Campus Coordination

Wake Forest University and the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center manage complimentary plans for RCR training, depending on where the trainee’s program of study fits into the school’s organizational structure.  In general, the plans align with the physical spaces at the Wake Forest University/Reynolda Campus or the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center/Bowman Gray, Downtown and Clarkson Campuses.
