Building the Capacity of Academic Institutions and Professional Societies to Implement Ethics Instruction on a Large-scale

匹兹堡大学将与美国科学促进会（AAAS）合作，根据埃弗雷特罗杰斯和其他人关于创新如何扩散到现有组织中的一些领先研究，设计一个培训培训者的培训者（T3）模型。 T3将加强教师的培训，以培训其他负责研究的研究生，进行研究和采访，以收集有关迄今为止工作的知识，计划培训培训师的研讨会，开发研讨会材料，解决教学法问题，计划实施，包括发展对道德培训的支持，并设计新的课程单元，涉及专业发展的问题，意外出现，但对研究生的专业和道德的成功至关重要。该提案解决了所有STEM领域的一个至关重要的需求？在整个STEM职业生涯中进行负责任的研究和道德行为的培训。该模式将通过新的研讨会、课程和网站迅速增加能够向STEM研究生教授道德的人数。与美国科学促进会和其他专业协会的合作预示着材料和使用的快速和有用的增加。 虽然该项目的重点是在NSF相关领域的研究生，预计课程材料和培训将是有用的教学伦理本科生，博士后研究员，教师和工作人员在领域以外的NSF相关。

The University of Pittsburgh in conjunction with the American Association for the Advancement of Scien(AAAS) will design a Train the Trainers of Trainers (T3) model based on some of the leading research of Everett Rogers and others about how .innovations are diffused into existing organizations. T3 will ramp up the training of faculty to train others who train graduate students in responsible conduct of research, conduct research and interviews to gather knowledge about what has worked to date, plan the workshop for training the trainers, develop workshop materials that address issues of pedagogy, program implementation including, the development of support for ethics training, and design new curricula units that relate to professional development issues that arise unexpectedly, but are critical to the professional and ethical success of the graduate students. The proposal addresses a critically important need across all STEM fields?the training in responsible conduct of research and ethical behavior throughout a STEM career. The model will rapidly multiply the number of people capable of teaching ethics to STEM graduate students with new workshops, curricula and websites. The collaboration with AAAS and other professional societies augurs well for a fast and useful ramp-up of materials and usage. While the project focuses on graduate students in NSF related fields, it is anticipated that the curriculum materials and training will be useful for teaching ethics to undergraduates, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty, and staff in fields beyond those that are NSF related.
