Modeling Effective Research Ethics Education in Graduate International Collaborations: A Learning Outcomes Approach

研究生院理事会（CGS）提出了一项为期三年的合作教育项目，以协调、发展和评估研究伦理教育项目，以应对科学与工程（S&amp；E）国际合作中出现的研究诚信问题。该项目解决了两个特定的国家需求：美国机构的标准与工程研究人员准备面对国际研究合作的伦理挑战，以及需要有效的方法来评估和改进美国研究生在国际背景下进行合作研究的准备。研究生院理事会将通过以下活动来满足这些需求：(1)召集一个由研究伦理教育、科学与工程合作和学习评估专家组成的国际跨学科团队，与研究生教育领导者一起确定研究生国际合作所需的核心研究伦理技能；(2)发表研究生国际合作框架论文和初步学习成果纲要；(3)在现有的国际合作中制定和评估研究伦理教育计划，并为试点项目制定和发布提案请求；(4)成立外部遴选委员会，提名五所院校，各获24,000美元奖励，以发展协调研究伦理课程的试点项目；(5)开始评估这一领域的课程和制度创新，并通过多层次评估战略，为不断共同评估其长期影响建立基础设施；(6)开发CGS电子资源，以展示五个试点项目的项目成果，包括学习成果库；(7)将项目成果综合成CGS的纸质和电子出版物，这些出版物将到达几乎所有美国大学的s&p；E研究生教育；(8)通过国家和国际研究伦理和/或国际合作会议上的技术研讨会和会议，进一步传播最佳做法和发现。

The Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) proposes a collaborative, three-year education project to coordinate, develop, and evaluate research ethics education programs that respond to research integrity issues that arise in international collaborations in science and engineering (S&E). The project addresses two specific national needs: the preparation of S&E researchers at U.S. institutions to face the ethical challenges of international research collaborations, and the need for effective methods of assessing and improving the preparation of U.S. graduate students to conduct collaborative research in an international context. The Council of Graduate Schools will address these needs through the following activities: (1) convene an international, interdisciplinary team of experts in research ethics education, S&E collaboration, and learning assessment together with graduate education leaders to identify core research ethics skills needed in graduate international collaborations; (2) publish a framework paper and a preliminary learning outcomes rubric for graduate international collaborations; (3) develop and issue a request for proposals for pilot projects that develop and assess research ethics education programs in existing international collaborations; (4) convene an external selection committee to nominate five institutions to receive awards of $24,000 each to develop pilot projects in the development of coordinated research ethics curricula; (5) begin to assess curricular and institutional innovations in this area and develop an infrastructure for ongoing common assessment of their impact over time through a multi-tiered assessment strategy; (6) develop CGS electronic resources to feature project outcomes from the five pilot projects, including a Learning Outcomes Repository; (7) synthesize project results in CGS hardcopy and electronic publications that will reach nearly every U.S. university in S&E graduate education; and (8) further disseminate best practices and findings through technical workshops and sessions at national and international meetings on research ethics and/or international collaboration.
