It is reflected not only in compliance with policies and regulations, but also in the daily practices, decisions, and professional relationships that shape how research is proposed, conducted, reviewed, reported, and shared.<\/p>\n<p>These guidelines provide a shared framework for responsible research across disciplines and should be read together with applicable University policies, sponsor requirements, school or departmental guidance, and discipline-specific standards.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers are encouraged to seek guidance early when questions arise about research practices, expectations, or concerns. Appropriate resources may include mentors, supervisors, department chairs, deans\u2019 offices, research administrators, compliance offices, or ORISE.<\/p>\n<p>Through shared responsibility and respectful engagement, the University of Rochester seeks to build and sustain a research environment where integrity is practiced every day and excellent research can thrive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guidelines for the Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research The 糖心传媒 is committed to fostering a research culture grounded in integrity, rigor, transparency, accountability, stewardship, and respect.
