This plan, which details three levels of responsibility for promoting a culture that encourages responsible data management and produces data of the highest integrity — individual, division and department — also reflects these important principles:
- We foster an environment where scientific integrity is the highest priority.
- We emphasize high-quality, reproducible data and results.
- We value constructive critiques of research.
- We allow open discussion of any concerns regarding research conduct or integrity.
Each and every member of the Department of Medicine — faculty, trainees, staff and administrators — is expected to reflect and pursue these values. Ours is a shared commitment to the highest standards of scientific activity.
Below is the RQMP SCAP Qualtrics survey link:
Researchers should select Medicine as their unit from the dropdown list in the Qualtrics survey as their primary appointment. The attestation should take about 10 minutes to complete.
