In recent years, countries on every continent have embraced biotechnology and incorporated it into national priorities, policies and planning. The goal of this Career Development project is to develop integrated models of research, teaching and pre-college outreach initiatives addressing issues of ethics, values and equity relating to biotechnology in a worldwide context. Specifically, the research component of this project will identify and compare key ethics, values and equity issues relating to biotechnology in a number of developed and developing countries (India, South Africa, Switzerland and the United States) using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methodologies to identify the ethics, values and equity issues influencing the promotion of or resistance to biotechnology around the world. The education component of this project involves high school teachers in a cross-cultural science education exchange, both to participate in data collection and to share strategies relating to biotechnology education. Findings from the research will be presented at national and international meetings and submitted to journals in a variety of science and social science fields. Informed by results from the cross-cultural research, curricula at the graduate and undergraduate and pre-college levels will be developed. Findings will also be made available to representatives in the host countries, and cooperative arrangements for curricular exchanges developed. A website about the project and its results will be maintained at Portland State University.

近年来，各大洲的国家都接受了生物技术，并将其纳入国家优先事项、政策和规划。 这个职业发展项目的目标是开发研究，教学和大学预科推广活动的综合模式，解决全球范围内与生物技术有关的道德，价值观和公平问题。具体而言，本项目的研究部分将采用定量和定性相结合的方法，查明和比较一些发达国家和发展中国家（印度、南非、瑞士和美国）与生物技术有关的主要道德、价值观和公平问题，以查明影响世界各地促进或抵制生物技术的道德、价值观和公平问题。 该项目的教育部分让高中教师参与跨文化科学教育交流，既参与数据收集，又分享与生物技术教育有关的战略。 研究结果将在国家和国际会议上发表，并提交给各种科学和社会科学领域的期刊。 根据跨文化研究的结果，将制定研究生、本科生和大学预科课程。 还将向东道国的代表提供研究结果，并为课程交流制定合作安排。 波特兰州立大学将维护一个关于该项目及其结果的网站。
