Most RCR In-Person training/discussion sessions will be facilitated by a trainer within your college/department.

If you do not see your department and would like to volunteer as an RCR In-Person Trainer for your department, please contact RCR@uky.edu.

Please select your college below to be taken to the contact information for the trainer(s) in the college departments.

If you need training so that you may be added to an initial IRB protocol application or for IACUC approval, and can't find a trainer for your college/department, please contact RCR@uky.edu.
