This award initially provided five years of funding toward the development of a validated assessment tool to measure student gains in Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training. The project began with development of the Iowa State Assessment of RCR Training (ISART) assessment tool. After final-stage refinement, ISART will be administered to different sample and expert groups to assess the comparative efficacy of alternative teaching modes for RCR training.
