The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) will develop a new and unique resource of its kind, cross-cultural case studies for research ethics education in U.S. and Chinese universities. This project will support travel for ten U.S. participants to engage Chinese counterparts in a workshop at the Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China, as part of a collaborative project with the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST). As research becomes increasingly global, it raises the very real possibilities that the melding of multiple cultures, regulatory systems, and institutions will create tensions among the values, norms and legal frameworks represented by international collaborators. A better understanding of those tensions and the ethical issues they engender is critical. The proposed workshop uses the case study method of analysis to develop a new and unique resource of its kind, cross-cultural case studies for research ethics education in U.S. and Chinese universities, and it does so in the context of cross-cultural collaboration between American and Chinese scientists and other scholars.The cases will impact the education of scientists in both the U.S. and China. American educators, facing the growing number of Chinese students enrolled in science and engineering courses as well as the increasing demands of globalization, have a pressing need for research ethics teaching materials that can bridge the gap between what international students know or believe, and what they will need to understand regarding the responsible conduct of research. Hence, the case studies have the potential to reach large numbers students and scientists in both countries. The cases will be posted on the Web for others to use as needed (URL: http://srhrl.aaas.org/projects/research_ethics/china/). While the cases themselves will add value to research ethics education in both the U.S. and China, the hands-on collaboration between American and Chinese educators, researchers and students will also be a model for developing such materials.

美国科学促进会（AAAS）将开发一个新的和独特的资源，跨文化的案例研究，在美国和中国的大学研究伦理教育。该项目将资助10名美国参与者前往中国杭州浙江大学参加一个研讨会，作为与中国科学技术协会（CAST）合作项目的一部分。随着研究变得越来越全球化，它提出了非常真实的可能性，即多种文化、监管体系和机构的融合将在国际合作者所代表的价值观、规范和法律的框架之间产生紧张关系。更好地理解这些紧张关系及其产生的道德问题至关重要。本次研讨会采用案例研究的分析方法，在中美科学家和其他学者的跨文化合作背景下，为中美大学的研究伦理教育开发了一种新的、独特的资源--跨文化案例研究。这些案例将对中美两国的科学家教育产生影响。面对越来越多的中国学生选择科学和工程课程，以及全球化日益增长的需求，美国教育工作者迫切需要研究伦理教材，以弥合国际学生所知道或相信的与他们需要了解的关于负责任的研究行为之间的差距。因此，案例研究有可能接触到两国的大量学生和科学家。这些案例将张贴在网上，供其他人根据需要使用（网址：http：//srhrl.aaas.org/projects/research_ethics/china/）。虽然这些案例本身将为美国和中国的研究伦理教育增加价值，但美国和中国教育工作者、研究人员和学生之间的实际合作也将成为开发此类材料的典范。
