Responsible Conduct of Research
Virginia Commonwealth University is committed to fostering an environment of uncompromising integrity and ethical conduct. As such, all University Members are expected to adhere to the highest ethical standards of professional conduct and integrity. Our core values and principles include: respect, honesty, excellence, responsibility and accountability, stewardship, and compliance.
These core values provide an overarching framework that applies to the conduct of research and scholarly activities carried out by University Members. The responsible conduct of research at VCU is built on this foundation and specifically encompasses five areas: subject protection, research integrity, environmental and safety issues, fiscal accountability, and education. This page provides links to VCU's policies on responsible conduct of research, and misconduct as well as resources for promoting responsible conduct of research.
