The four-hour Mass General Brigham (MGB) RCR seminar is required within 12-months of the NIH or NSF appointment date or, if a direct award, e.g., an F or K award, as of the award effective date.

The Mass General Brigham RCR seminar includes faculty presentations and discussions on authorship, data management, documentation and integrity, conflict of interest and interactions with industry, research misconduct, and postaward financial management. The seminar also includes an overview of basic regulatory and institutional requirements for research involving human subjects, stem cells, animals, and biohazards/recombinant DNA.
