BackgroundRCR is an increasingly significant component of the education and training of researchers.
Policies from NIH have added emphasis to the importance of in-person training.
As a premiere technological university at the cutting edge of education, research, and innovation, Georgia Tech is committed to providing leadership in the realm of ethics and RCR.
RCR training is central to Georgia Tech’s mission to ensure that students are prepared with the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct themselves professionally and with integrity.
Office of Sponsored Programs

Applicability Criteria
Applies to all doctoral students with an admit date of Fall 2011 or later
Includes students admitted to a master’s program in Fall 2011 or later who have since transitioned to a doctoral program
The implementation plan for master’s students is still being determined
Office of Sponsored Programs

Academic Policy RequirementsDegree Requirement includes:
(1) CITI RCR online course Must be completed within 90 days of starting
doctoral program

Approved In-House RCR Training Approaches
Applied Physiology – PHIL 6010: Biotechnology and Research Ethics
Biology – BIOL 8106: Tools of Science
Building Construction – BC 8100 / CEE 8813A: Research Methodology
Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering – ChBE 6003: Chemical Process Safety and ChBE 8801: Introduction to Research (both courses are required)
Chemistry – CHEM 8902: Information Resources for Chemists and Biochemists
Psychology – PSYC 8900: Special Problems in Experimental Psychology - RCR
Public Policy – PUBP 8801: Dissertation Starter Course (2 semesters)
All courses also satisfy the in-person RCR training requirement for the
GT Compliance Policy. Courses are only available to graduate students.

Relevance to ComplianceAt this point, the Compliance Policy and the Academic Policy both apply to certain categories of doctoral students.
Applicable students must follow the “in-person” requirement of the Academic Policy (the online training is the same).
Both policies will likely apply to master’s students in the future.

Key Differences Between Policies
Compliance Policy

(whichever is later)
Academic Policy
Online Training: 90 days from start of first
semester of doctoral program A HOLD may be placed on
registration if a student goes past the 90 day timeframe
