“Integrity is the essence of everything successful.” 

- R. Buckminster Fuller

Join Jeff Seo as he guides us through current trends, and modifiable environmental factors that contribute to questionable research practices and fraudulent behavior. You will walk away from this session with a better understanding of research misconduct regulations and armed with practical strategies that can be employed at your institution to mitigate risk in this growing area of reputational, financial and institutional vulnerability.

Learning Objectives:  Participants will be able to:   

• Identify at-risk and highly vulnerable populations within your institution 
• Design effective, targeted strategies to mitigate your areas of highest risk (not just RCR!) 
• Ensure your institutional policies are not simply compliant, but are designed to streamline an often complex and costly process 
• Anticipate and deftly navigate landmines in the investigative process, from aggressive outside legal counsel to uncooperative respondents
