Dear MSE Students and Postdocs, Every member of the Purdue community involved in research is required to take and pass training on the ethical conduct of research. Purdue University and the MSE faculty require MSE graduate students and postdocs: 1. Take and pass the CITI Responsible Conduct of Research Module on Physical Sciences, (as explained below). Please note that students on NSF fellowships are required to take this training within one month of the start of their fellowships.(You only have to meet this requirement ONE TIME, so if you've previously completed the CITI module, you do not have to do it again.) 2. Attend a yearly Ethics in Research seminar and participate in the activities associated with it. This semester the seminar will be on October 31 at 3:30 PM in ARMS1010. Attendance in mandatory. Students unable to attend the seminar should go over the content of the presentation with their research advisor and participate in the activities.
