The Association for Practical and Professional Ethics, in collaboration with the Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics and American Institutions, and Association members who are leading scholars and educators in the ethics of scientific research, will provide instruction in ethical issues in scientific research for a selected group of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in engineering and the natural and physical sciences. The objective is to equip these researchers with skill in ethical thinking, understanding of the historical context of scientific misconduct and awareness of the multidisciplinary nature of major issues in scientific research. An intensive four day workshop will provide 15 participants in each of three years with tools for self-directed development in these areas and a network of support. The workshop will introduce participants to ethical theory and reasoning in the context of discussions on topics such as data sharing and ownership; responsible conduct of research; conflicts of interest; professional relations with colleagues; ethical issues in computing; protection of human subjects; variations in standards of conduct; responsibilities of engineers and scientists to the larger society. The aim is to enable them to provide leadership in ethical issues in the scientific community and enhanced ethics education for their own future students. Participants will be nominated by science and engineering faculty at research universities and through solicitations to a wide variety of professional associations, and selected for their promise as leaders and mentors. In advance of the workshop, they will begin to read historical cases and introductory material, to inform themselves of standards of conduct in their own fields, and to develop a case study for distribution and comment. During the workshop, participants will discuss presentations and case studies, continue to work on their own cases and those contributed by others, and review and evaluate standards of conduct. Case studies prepared in the workshop will be made available to faculty nationwide for use in their own courses, and participants will be expected to share their work at their home institutions. They will join a network of concerned scientists and engineers from the Big Ten and other universities and receive a complementary three year membership in the Association which will enable them to maintain the contacts needed to continue to work in the field. Project staff and an outside evaluator will assess the project.

实践和职业伦理协会将与波因特伦理学研究中心和美国机构以及科学研究伦理领域的顶尖学者和教育家协会成员合作，将为选定的工程、自然科学和物理科学领域的研究生和博士后群体提供科学研究伦理问题的指导。 目的是使这些研究人员具备道德思维能力、对科学不端行为的历史背景的理解以及对科学研究中重大问题的多学科性质的认识。 为期四天的密集研讨会将在三年内为 15 名参与者提供在这些领域进行自我导向发展的工具和支持网络。 研讨会将在数据共享和所有权等主题讨论的背景下向参与者介绍伦理理论和推理；负责任地进行研究；利益冲突；与同事的专业关系；计算中的道德问题；保护人类受试者；行为标准的变化；工程师和科学家对更大社会的责任。目的是使他们能够在科学界的道德问题上发挥领导作用，并加强对未来学生的道德教育。 参与者将由研究型大学的科学和工程系教师以及通过向各种专业协会征集而提名，并根据他们作为领导者和导师的承诺而被选拔。 在研讨会开始之前，他们将开始阅读历史案例和介绍性材料，了解自己领域的行为标准，并制定案例研究以供分发和评论。 在研讨会期间，参与者将讨论演示和案例研究，继续研究自己的案例和其他人提供的案例，并审查和评估行为标准。 研讨会上准备的案例研究将提供给全国教师用于他们自己的课程，并且参与者将被期望在他们的所在机构分享他们的工作。 他们将加入由来自十大大学和其他大学的相关科学家和工程师组成的网络，并获得协会的三年补充会员资格，这将使他们能够保持继续在该领域工作所需的联系。 项目工作人员和外部评估员将对项目进行评估。
