Four workshops on research ethics and the responsible conduct of research (RCR) will be offered for postdoctoral fellows at Indiana University-Bloomington in Spring 2012. The workshops, described below, are free of charge. Participation in all four workshops is encouraged but not required. A similar series of workshops has been offered since the second semester of 2007-08.

All workshops will meet at the Poynter Center, 618 East Third Street, from 4:00-5:30 pm. The Poynter Center is directly across 3rd Street from the Law School.

Registration is required and space is limited. To register:
