The College of Charleston is dedicated to truth in pursuit of knowledge through research and to the transmission of knowledge through teaching. A spirit of mutual respect and a broad trust that all faculty members, students and staff share this dedication to the truth is essential to the functioning of the College.
All members of the research community, including faculty, research staff, students, adjunct faculty, and visiting researchers, are expected to adhere to the highest ethical and professional standards as they pursue research activities, complying with all legal, regulatory, and ethical requirements established by the College, regulatory bodies, funding sources and professional organizations. The Code of Professional Conduct and Statement of Professional Ethics (Faculty and Administration Manual) prescribes standards of work performance and ethical conduct expected of all persons engaged in teaching and research.
Policy On The Responsible Conduct Of Research
|
|
Beginning January 2010 in accordance with the America COMPETES Act, Section 7009: "Responsible Conduct of Research", NSF will require that every institution submitting a proposal must certify that it has a plan to provide appropriate training and oversight in the responsible and ethical conduct of research to undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers who will be supported by NSF to conduct research. A training plan is not required to be included in the proposal, but must be available on request.
Training in the Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research will be included as a Representative Activity in the listing of Broader Impacts Representative Activities.
Contact Eileen Callahan, Research Protections & Compliance, ORGA, for assistance in preparing a plan.
