Scaling Open Access Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research and Mentoring Trainings Across Academic Institutions

大型大学通常有专门的办公室来支持道德和负责任的研究教育，而主要的本科院校往往缺乏类似的资源。然而，迫切需要让来自PUIs和其他学术机构的教师和学生参与负责任和道德的研究行为（RECR）培训，特别是在研究指导的主题上。该项目满足了这一教育需求，并通过生成可在各种学术环境中使用的易于获取和永久的研究伦理培训材料，为学生、教师和其他人员提供了好处。研究小组将协助学术机构，包括那些缺乏成熟的研究教育基础设施的机构，了解与提供指导和其他研究伦理主题培训相关的挑战和机遇。该团队将调查一系列学术机构，为其方法提供信息。调查结果将指导从事科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）研究领域的教师和学生的教育模块的开发。该项目的目标是扩大获得研究伦理培训方法和材料的途径。为了实现这一目标，研究团队将在国家资助的大学网络中开发和传播开放获取和可定制的RECR和研究指导培训。该团队将寻求实现三个主要目标：(1)确定哪些因素在形成STEM研究领域的公平研究伦理培训方法方面最有效；(2)开发和推广可定制的科研伦理培训模块；(3)评价这些因素如何以及为什么对加强科研伦理培训有效。该团队将使用多种教育模式开发模块，并通过一个信息交换网站公开共享模块。该项目由社会、行为和经济科学理事会和生物科学理事会通过ER2计划共同资助。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Large universities often have dedicated offices to support ethical and responsible research education, while primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) tend to lack similar resources. Yet there is a pressing need to engage faculty and students from PUIs and other academic institutions in responsible and ethical conduct of research (RECR) training, especially on the topic of research mentoring. This project addresses this educational need and provides benefit to students, faculty, and other personnel by generating accessible and permanent research ethics training materials that can be used in a variety of academic settings. The research team will assist academic institutions, including those lacking an established research education infrastructure, to understand the challenges and opportunities associated with providing training on mentoring and other research ethics topics. The team will survey a collection of academic institutions to inform its approach. Survey results will guide the development of educational modules for faculty and students engaged in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research fields.The goal of this project is to expand access to research ethics training approaches and materials. To address this goal, the research team will develop and disseminate open access and customizable RECR and research mentoring training within a network of state-funded universities. The team will seek to accomplish three main aims: (1) determine which factors are most effective in forming equitable approaches to research ethics training in STEM research fields; (2) develop and disseminate customizable research ethics training modules; and (3) evaluate how and why these factors are effective in enhancing research ethics training. The team will develop the modules using multiple education modalities and openly share the modules through a clearinghouse website.This project is jointly funded through the ER2 program by the Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences and the Directorate for Biological Sciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
