International Responsible Conduct of Research Education Workshop

国际负责任的研究教育工作坊OISE-0940073密歇根大学Nicholas H.Steneck在1989年医学研究所报告《健康科学中负责任的研究行为》发表后，为研究人员提供专业责任的正式培训的必要性在美国得到了广泛接受。在20世纪90年代，课程、教科书、其他教学资源和培训项目激增，使美国大多数研究机构能够提供一些正式的、负责任的研究行为(RCR)教育。类似的发展在美国以外的地区进展缓慢。以这样或那样的方式解决研究诚信问题的国家经常提到RCR教育的重要性，但到目前为止，还没有国家效仿美国，采取正式要求。因此，在美国以外的大多数研究生或新的研究人员都无法接受正规的RCR教育。国际RCR教育讲习班的近期目标是将一个由RCR教育工作者和其他有关方面组成的国际小组聚集在一起，以解决在全球范围内提高RCR教育的一致性和可及性的必要性。在讲习班期间，与会者将努力就RCR教育的国际指导方针达成一些协议，并在讲习班结束后制定交流和共享材料的计划。研讨会的计划将考虑到国家科学基金会为响应《美国竞争法》而加强RCR教育的努力。更一致、更周密的RCR教育将使研究人员更容易与其他国家的同事和学生合作。它还将通过确保学生和导师对职业责任的共同理解来促进国际学习。在教育可以影响行为的程度上，RCR教育的全球指导方针应该通过减少因专业责任培训不佳或不充分而导致的微小但常见的诚信失误，来促进研究中的诚信标准。更高的研究诚信标准的好处是显著和深远的，包括更好地保护人类受试者，减少浪费和粗心大意的做法，增强客观性，更准确地发表文章，妥善管理利益冲突，以及研究人员为更大的公共利益而工作的真诚利益。

International Responsible Conduct of Research Education WorkshopOISE-0940073Nicholas H. SteneckUniversity of MichiganThe need to provide researchers with formal training on professional responsibility became widely accepted in the US following the publication of the 1989 Institute of Medicine Report, The Responsible Conduct of Research in the Health Sciences. During the 1990s, courses, textbooks, other teaching resources, and training programs proliferated, making it possible for most research institutions in the US to offer some formal responsible conduct of research (RCR) education. Similar developments have been slow in coming outside the US. Countries that have in one way or another addressed the issue of research integrity frequently mention the importance of RCR education, but to date no countries have followed the US lead and adopted formal requirements. Consequently, formal RCR education is not available to most research students or new researchers outside the US. The immediate goal of the International RCR Education Workshop is to bring together an international group of RCR educators and others interested parties to address the need for improved consistency and availability of RCR education for students and researchers on a global basis. During the Workshop participants will endeavor to come to some agreement on international guidelines for RCR education as well as develop plans to communicate and share materials after the workshop. Planning for the Workshop will take into account efforts underway at the National Science Foundation to enhance RCR education in response to the American Competes Act.More consistent, well-thought-out RCR education will make it easier for researchers to work with colleagues in and students from other countries. It will also facilitate international study by making sure that students and mentors share common understandings of professional responsibility. To the extent that education can influence behavior, global guidelines for RCR education should promote higher standards for integrity in research by reducing the small-but-common lapses of integrity that result from poor or inadequate training in professional responsibility. The benefits of higher standards for integrity in research are significant and far-reaching, ranging from better protection for human subjects to less waste and careless practice, enhanced objectivity, more accurate publications, properly managed conflicts of interest and a sincere interest on the part of researchers in working for the greater public good.
