Production of Educational Modules for the Teaching of Research Ethics

来自阿卡迪亚研究所、加州理工学院、达特茅斯学院、伊利诺伊理工学院、洛约拉大学芝加哥分校和麻省理工学院的科学家、工程师、人文学者和社会科学家正在组成一个为期两年的联盟，为理工科研究生讲授学术研究伦理。该联盟包括来自每个机构的两人团队，并将创建至少六个关于研究伦理特定主题的模块。这些模块是平装本，由100至125页组成，将讨论研究方法、专业诚实、研究报告、告发和忠诚度以及研究中的动物和人类对象等问题。每个模块将包含转载、案例、分析、适当的联邦和专业指南以及参考书目。每个模块的作者将是跨学科和跨校园的，内容将受益于该项目独特的协作方法。在资助期间，每个校园团队将主持一个关于研究道德的研讨会。研讨会将包括教师、博士后研究员、研究生和本科生。研讨会参与者将对正在进行的单元进行评估。最终，这些模块将通过新英格兰大学出版社以系列形式出版，并单独提供给科学和工程专业学会。

Scientists, engineers, humanities scholars and social scientists from the Acadia Institute, California Institute of Technology, Dartmouth College, Illinois Insititue of Technology, Loyola University-Chicago, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology are forming a two-year consortium to create teaching materials to teach academic research ethics to graduate students of science and engineering. The consortium includes a team of two from each institution, and will create at least six modules on specific topics in research ethics. The modules, paperbound books consisting of 100 to 125 pages, will address such issues as research methodology, professional honesty, reporting on research, whistleblowing and loyalty, and animals and human subjects in research. Each module will contain reprints, cases, analyses, appropriate federal and professional guidelines and bibliographies. Authorship for each module will be interdisciplinary and inter-campus, and the content will benefit from the uniquely collaborative approach of this project. During the grant period, each campus team will facilitate a seminar on research ethics. The seminars will include faculty members, post-doctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students. Seminar participants will evaluate modules in progress. Ultimately, the modules will be published as a series through University Press of New England and offered individually to scientific and engineering professional societies.
