Educational Programs

The Office of Research Integrity and Assurance is committed to providing the highest level of education for the research community we support. To this end, we have organized and sponsored a number of educational initiatives in matters relating to Research Integrity in the conduct of human, animal, and basic scientific research, collaborating with the academic and biomedical research community at Weill Cornell Medical College, Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences, and its associated institutions and organizations.

Some presentations may only be accessed via the WCMC Intranet.

The Research Coordinators' Network is an educational and networking opportunity for the WCMC research community. The group meets monthly and provides the WCMC research coordinator community with timely updates on a variety of Research Integrity and compliance related issues. In 2008, the RCN conducted several successful videoconference broadcasts in collaboration with the Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas.
