Departmental
Research Administration Workshop
The Research Office is excited to announce a new training opportunity for campus research administrators. NCURA will be on campus December 5-7 to provide a multi-day workshop that examines the essential elements of research administration, with a specific focus on the highly specialized skills needed to manage research effectively at the unit level. The program will employ practical applications to enhance critical thinking skills, and will apply best practices for research faculty support and other departmental day-to-day activities. Seating is limited. Please register below.

Responsible Conduct of Research Conference
The Research Office and the Office of Graduate and Professional Education will hold its annual RCR Conference on Friday, February 8, 2019, in the Trabant Multipurpose rooms. This training offers an overview of the basic principles and guidelines that apply to the responsible conduct of research – from ethical considerations in performing research, to requirements related to the involvement of human subjects or the use of animals. Other research integrity related topics covered include authorship and plagiarism, intellectual property, data management, laboratory safety, export controls laws, and the disclosure and management of potential conflicts of interest. RCR training provides a compiled reference to the guidelines and resources available at UD to conduct research ethically and responsibly. Registration will be available in the near future.
