Creating an infrastructure for training in the responsible conduct of research: the University of Pittsburgh's experience.

In response to public concerns about the consequences of research misconduct, academic institutions have become increasingly cognizant of the need to implement comprehensive, effective training in the responsible conduct of research (RCR) for faculty, staff, students, and external collaborators.
