What are the CMDITR certification modules?

The CMDITR RCR modules are a series of interactive tutorials on Responsible Conduct of Research available at no cost to groups affiliated with educational or other non-profit institutions.

These tutorials were developed and originally hosted by The Center on Materials and Devices for Information Technology Research (CMDITR), a National Science Foundation funded Science and Technology Center headed at University of Washington.

These tutorials were formerly available through the CMDITR's Responsible Conduct of Research site at http://responsibleresearch.org; the Ethics CORE site has absorbed these modules and will continue to support them.
