As a land-, sea-, and space-grant institution, UNH is accountable to both New Hampshire residents and the university community to ensure the safe and ethical conduct of research and scholarly activity. To maintain its extensive research endeavors and the involvement of undergraduates and graduate students in research projects, UNH has an obligation to teach and actively promote integrity in research and scholarship. To achieve these goals, the Graduate Council has mandated all incoming Ph.D. students attend RCR training by the end of their first semester.
