Office of Research Integrity

Responsible Conduct of Research Workshops: Collaborative Research

Led by Gabriela Livas Stein and Michael Hemphill

2/23, 10 AM- 12:00 PM

Collaborative research can be simple or complex and is mutually beneficial to those involved – providing access to specific expertise or resources that are not available within one research team. Establishing and maintaining successful research collaborations includes: having a clear understanding of roles and relationships, consistent communication, effective management and recognizing differences in research fields.

**This session meets the requirements of NIH and NSF Responsible Conduct of Research training

Registration required. To register, go to https://workshops.uncg.edu/ – search under “Office of Research”

Human Subjects Research Training Workshop

Led by Melissa Beck

3/2, 9:00-11:00 AM

The UNCG Office of Research Integrity offers a two hour session in human research protection once a semester, covering all required categories to meet the requirements of our assurance with the Office of Research Protections (OHRP). Topics of this session are also a part of the RCR curriculum on the campus. This workshop will cover areas such as confidentiality, informed consent, recruitment, and the history of human research protection and is offered as an alternative to CITI training.

**This session meets the RCR training requirements for NIH and NSF.

Interactive Basic Linux Commands

3/4, 11:00-1:00 PM

If you have never used a Linux command line before then this workshop is for you. In a span of four hours over two days we will cover all that you need to get started with the Linux Command. Linux commands are issued to a computer program called shell. The shell enables us to send commands to the computer and receive output. It is also referred to as the terminal or command line interface. In addition, the command line is often the easiest way to interact with remote machines and supercomputers. Familiarity with the shell is near essential to run a variety of specialized tools and resources including high-performance computing systems. As clusters and cloud computing systems become more popular for scientific data crunching, being able to interact with the shell is becoming a necessary skill. We can build on the command-line skills covered here to tackle a wide range of scientific questions and computational challenges. Pre-workshop survey: https://go.uncg.edu/basiclinuxshellcommands Please, complete the survey so we can better serve your needs and expectations. Please register at workshops.uncg.edu.
