This workshop will explore the questions “What are best practices for CSU scientists and scholars?”, “What should RCR training at CSU consist of?”, and “How do we deliver it to best empower our trainees to be successful and productive throughout their career?” You are invited and encouraged to join in this discussion!  The day will include several work sessions focused on the who, what, where and why of RCR training at CSU in an “ideal” scenario. Can we find a shared vision and a consensus for a path to it?
A morning keynote address, “A Best-Case Scenario for University Research”, from Dr. Kenneth Pimple, Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics and American Institutions and afternoon focused discussion include these topics:

• Cultural differences in RCR training
• Integrating academic RCR with “business ethics” training at CSU
• Conflicts of Interest
• Meeting federal mandates for RCR training: what are they and how do we do it?
• Teaching misconduct with real case studies
• The value of press releases for misconduct cases
• Vertical integration of RCR training
• What RCR programs feel like to senior faculty
• The perception of “overregulation” at CSU:  Is it true & how do we overcome this
• Training for human subjects, animal subjects, biohazards, & radiation safety committees

All undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral trainees, faculty, staff and administration are encouraged to participate.
