For Researchers
UTRGV researchers ahere to responsible conduct of research (RCR) guidelines with the goal of fostering integrity and deterring misconduct in research. 
The RCR encompasses all aspects of research (including data acquisition, responsible authorship, conflicts of interest, and the ethical treatment of human and animal subjects, among others) and applies to all elements of research, scholarship and creative activities - funded or not. Funded projects have documentary requirements regarding RCR Trainings.
- Additionally, the federal government requires Time and Effort Certification or Effort Reporting for all sponsored projects. The Office of Grants & Contracts (G&C) serves the campus community with training and Time and Effort Certification to ensure compliance with federal requirements and university policies and procedures.
- UTRGV requires employees engaged in research and sponsored programs to complete their Disclosures of Outside Interests on a yearly basis.
