The Office of Research Integrity of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has mandated (and currently suspended) that all persons engaged in research or research training with DHHS support "... shall successfully complete a program of instruction in the responsible conduct of research ...."
Each module is self-contained and provides opportunity for program evaluation and personal knowledge testing. Research leaders and faculty are urged to discuss the web-based materials and other resources within the context of their research projects and classrooms. Institutional certification is based on successful completion of exit examinations for each web-based module.
