Several weeks ago, NIH announced updated policy and guidelines for training in Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR):

In anticipation of these updates and modified or additional subject matters, we organized a special virtual event, BPP Responsible Conduct of Research, Monday, April 25, 2022, 10:00 am – 1:00 pm, which will introduce RCR training and provide an overview for a subset of topics for consideration.  This annual symposium will be mandatory for all recent postdocs (recruited after January 2021), but all other postdocs are encouraged to join. Note that the symposium does not replace RCR sessions offered by BPP on a monthly basis and mandatory RCR lab meetings coordinated by the mentors. All faculty preparing T32 proposals (and RPPPs) and postdocs preparing their K or F grant applications should consults BPP website (https://www.med.upenn.edu/postdoc/) for material on offered RCR training.
