Ethics
The Department of Biochemistry expects its members to adhere to the highest practices when carrying out all aspects of their research, academic programs, and administrative duties. An overview of our goals appears in the department’s SCAP—that all department scientists have an open and unintimidating research environment, which enhances the transparency and quality of their science. This SCAP also summarizes a wide variety of instruments put in place to provide all members of the Department with appropriate avenues to maintain the quality and integrity of their research programs and administrative duties as well as those of their colleagues.

Student
The Office of Biomedical Graduate Education coordinates activities that impact all graduate students associated with the School of Medicine and its interdisciplinary programs. Included are the Responsible Conduct in Research retreat for new students, that’s held at the Beaufort Marine Laboratory each fall, and the RCR retraining session, that’s required of students at the end of their third year. The office aids in program assessment, implementation of standardized policies within the biomedical programs, and the preparation of training grants.
