Rigor, Reproducibility, and Responsibility in Scientific Practice Certificate Program

The Rigor, Reproducibility and Responsibility certificate program emphasizes research practice and applicable, introductory graduate level training in epistemology, logic, ethics, as well as quantitative and communication skills. The program specifically addresses the “3R” core norms of good scientific practice, applied across the health and science disciplines, which include fundamental and trans-disciplinary application skills in:

• Rigor, critical thinking and objectivity in scientific conduct
• Reproducibility through appropriate, quantitative research methodology
• Responsibility of scientists toward the research community and society

Participants will value the program's specific focus on the philosophical underpinnings that form the fundamental framework of how science works, thereby keeping a broad perspective in mind that allows them to understand the principles underlying good scientific practice research from the bench science to the public health disciplines
