Navigating Team Science: Collaborative Research as Responsible Conduct - This will be an interactive session exploring the critical aspects of Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) within collaborative projects. Modern science is based on partnership, but successful collaborations require more than just shared goals - they demand a shared commitment to integrity. * Setting the Foundation: how proactive communication, clear roles, and early discussions about data sharing, authorship, and intellectual property can prevent future disputes. * Navigating the Dynamics: best practices for ongoing data management, ethical mentoring of trainees in joint project, and managing emerging conflicts of interest. * Dissemination & Beyond: ensure fair authorship, responsible publication, and know how to address potential misconduct when working across teams and institutions. Drawing on general requirements from the NSF, NIH, and USDA, this interactive session is designed for Texas State's graduate students, postdocs, and faculty in STEM and Health Sciences. We will discuss two case studies to apply these above RCR principles to real-world scenarios.Alexander KornienkoFriday, November 7, 2025 1-2pmJoin here
