NOTICE – The Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ) was established on June 1, 2024, in accordance with the Act to amend the Act respecting the Ministère de l’Économie et de l’Innovation with respect to research. The Fonds de recherche du Québec – Nature et technologies (FRQNT), the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Santé (FRQS) and the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et culture (FRQSC) have since been regrouped into the new FRQ, which continues their existence. The rights and obligations of the FRQNT, FRQS and FRQSC have become those of the FRQ; activities continue as usual.

Please note that if you come across an old name or logo of one of the Fonds de recherche du Québec in the program rules or on the website, it should now read as follows:

  • The FRQNT becomes the Nature et technologies sector;
  • The FRQS becomes the Santé sector;
  • The FRQSC becomes the Société et culture sector.

Thank you for your understanding.

This tool raises awareness among researchers and students of best practices in responsible research conduct by providing activities that focus on decision-making in a real research context.

Easily adaptable to a variety of research contexts, this tool can be used in a complementary and flexible manner, by module or activity, to support training or teaching initiatives, or to stimulate reflection and discussion among members of a research team. Commercial use is not permitted.

You can immediately use each of the 3 modules by simply clicking on the boxes below.

However, it is possible to obtain a certificate attesting to the successful completion of the modules. To obtain such a certificate, you must, before starting the modules, send us an email indicating that you wish to register to the portal that allows the delivery of certificates of completion. We will send you access to this portal and you can then begin the modules.

If you have any comments about the tool, please contact the Ethics and Legal Affairs team.
