New Tutorial on Maintaining Objectivity in Research

Posted

The NIH has published a Web-based tutorial to help ensure that research is carried out without bias and with the highest standards of integrity. The goal of the training is for the research community to familiarize itself with the requirements of, and the Institutional and Investigator responsibilities for, compliance with federal regulations regarding objectivity in research. The tutorial is designed for use by Institutional officials responsible for managing NIH-funded grants, cooperative agreements, and/or contracts; and for individuals who are responsible for the design, conduct or reporting of NIH-supported research.
