在过去的二十年里，政府机构、研究机构、专业协会和教育工作者进行了认真的智力努力，促进了负责任的研究行为(RCR)的教育，确定了目前的RCR标准，并形成了关于如何最好地促进生物医学科学研究诚信的辩论。然而，2000年对联邦研究不当行为政策的修订明确扩大了该政策的范围，将生物医学和行为科学以外的学科包括在内，从而产生了对经济、教育、数学和语言学等领域的RCR教育的需求。尽管一些机构已经将研究诚信办公室(ORI)的框架应用于大学范围内的RCR教学，但来自生物医学科学以外领域的学术管理人员和教师正确地指出，ORI的九个核心教学领域中有几个与许多学科无关或无关，这些学科的研究实践与生物医学科学的研究实践有很大不同。这些学科可以受益于生物医学科学中丰富的历史论述、政策制定和RCR教育，但它们不能简单地将生物医学和行为科学的标准应用于自己的、完全不同的研究。这些新纳入的学科需要创造性的领导，以确定各自领域的伦理研究标准，准备相关的教育材料，并在整个大学范围内促进研究诚信的多学科视角。作者建议，联邦政府资助的其他领域研究的RCR教育范围应在两个层面上解决：(1)普遍适用的RCR教育的内容；(2)特殊的、特定于学科的内容。
During the past two decades, serious intellectual effort by governmental agencies, research institutions, professional societies, and educators has promoted education in the responsible conduct of research (RCR), defined present standards of RCR, and shaped the debate on how best to promote research integrity in the biomedical sciences. However, revisions to the Federal Policy on Research Misconduct in 2000 specifically expanded the policy's scope to include disciplines outside the biomedical and behavioral sciences, thus creating a need for RCR education in such fields as economics, education, mathematics, and linguistics. Even as some institutions have applied the Office of Research Integrity's (ORI) framework for RCR instruction university-wide, academic administrators and faculty from fields beyond the biomedical sciences have rightly noted that several of ORI's nine core instructional areas are tangential or irrelevant to the many disciplines whose research practices differ substantially from those of the biomedical sciences. These disciplines can benefit from the rich history of discourse, policy making, and education in RCR in the biomedical sciences, but they must not simply apply the standards of biomedical and behavioral science to their own, quite different research. Creative leadership from these newly included disciplines is needed to define standards of ethical research in their areas, prepare relevant educational materials, and promote a multidisciplinary perspective on research integrity across the university. The authors suggest that the scope of RCR education for federally funded research in other areas be addressed on two levels: (1) the content of generally applicable RCR education, and (2) the special, discipline-specific content.
