Production of Educational Modules for the Teaching of Research Ethics

科学家、工程师、人文学者和社会科学家 来自哥伦比亚大学，加州理工学院， 达特茅斯学院，伊利诺伊理工学院，洛约拉 芝加哥大学和马萨诸塞州理工学院 成立一个为期两年的联盟，编写教材， 对理科研究生进行学术研究伦理教育 与工程学 该联盟包括一个由两名来自 该机构，并将创建至少六个模块，具体 研究伦理的主题。 模块，纸质书籍 包括100至125页，将讨论诸如 研究方法，专业诚信，报告 研究，告密和忠诚，动物和人类 研究对象。 每个模块将包含重印，案件， 分析、适当的联邦和专业指导方针， 参考书目 每个模块的作者将是 跨学科和跨校园，内容将受益 从这个项目独特的合作方式中。 期间 在资助期内，每个校园团队将举办一个关于 研究伦理 研讨会将包括教职员工， 博士后研究员、研究生和本科生。 研讨会参与者将评估正在进行的单元。 最终，这些模块将作为一个系列出版， 新英格兰大学出版社，并单独提供给 科学和工程专业协会。

Scientists, engineers, humanities scholars and social scientists from the Acadia Institute, California Institute of Technology, Dartmouth College, Illinois Insititue of Technology, Loyola University-Chicago, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology are forming a two-year consortium to create teaching materials to teach academic research ethics to graduate students of science and engineering. The consortium includes a team of two from each institution, and will create at least six modules on specific topics in research ethics. The modules, paperbound books consisting of 100 to 125 pages, will address such issues as research methodology, professional honesty, reporting on research, whistleblowing and loyalty, and animals and human subjects in research. Each module will contain reprints, cases, analyses, appropriate federal and professional guidelines and bibliographies. Authorship for each module will be interdisciplinary and inter-campus, and the content will benefit from the uniquely collaborative approach of this project. During the grant period, each campus team will facilitate a seminar on research ethics. The seminars will include faculty members, post-doctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students. Seminar participants will evaluate modules in progress. Ultimately, the modules will be published as a series through University Press of New England and offered individually to scientific and engineering professional societies.
