note = "Funding Information: This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation [grant number 1445121]. Funding Information: Another problem with such a procedural approach to RRI is that it tends to promote – not by design, but as a result of its design – a compliance attitude regarding the responsibility aspect of research and innovation. Much like certification for Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR), now mandated in the US for investigators funded by the NIH and NSF, one would simply jump through a hoop to demonstrate that one{\textquoteright}s research is responsible. Although such a design satisfies shallow demands for accountability (one can check and see if the appropriate box has been ticked or not), it actually fails to promote the responsible conduct of research and instead promotes the idea that requirements for training in RCR are something one must undergo before one can get on with the research.
