Responsible Conduct of Research
Broadly fostering research integrity at UMD
The integrity of our research is the foundation of the University of Maryland, College Park's reputation as a premier research institution.
It is in this spirit that all research performed at the institution is expected to meet the highest standards for integrity in all areas of the research endeavor (e.g., authorship and publication; data acquisition, management, sharing, use, and reporting; disclosure of and transparency regarding conflicts of interest and conflicts of commitment; mentorship; the use of human participants and animals; export compliance; research security; rigor and reproducibility; and safe and inclusive research environments).
To that end, we are dedicated to providing our faculty, students, trainees, and staff with the education and resources necessary to foster a culture of integrity in every aspect of their work.
