Cell and Molecular Biology Training Program:
Training
in Research Ethics
NIH requires that all trainees,
fellows,
participants, and scholars receiving support
through any NIH training,
career development award (individual or
institutional), research
education grant, and dissertation research
grant must receive
instruction in responsible conduct of
research.
The NIH policy for the Instruction of
Responsible Conduct of Research may be found here.
This policy stresses:
1. Substantial face-to-face discussions among the
participating
trainees/fellows/scholars/participants;
2. A combination of didactic and small-group
discussions (e.g. case
studies);
3. Participation of research training faculty
members in instruction in
responsible conduct of research are highly
encouraged.
While there are no specific curricular
requirements for instruction in
responsible conduct of research, the following
topics have been
incorporated into most acceptable plans for such
instruction:
- conflict of interest – personal,
professional, and
financial
- policies regarding human subjects, live
vertebrate
animal subjects in research, and safe
laboratory practices
- mentor/mentee responsibilities and
relationships
- collaborative research including
collaborations with
industry
- peer review
- data acquisition and laboratory tools;
management,
sharing and ownership
- research misconduct and policies for
handling
misconduct
- responsible authorship and publication
- the scientist as a responsible member of
society,
contemporary ethical issues in biomedical
research, and the
environmental and societal impacts of
scientific research
Our resources for meeting these requirements
include the following:
IBMS
500
On Being a Professional Scientist:
Ethics and Biomedical Research.
This is a broad survey course for first and second
year students that
covers all of the above topics in a series of
lecture and small group
sessions. IBMS 500
Syllabus.
MBIO/BIOC
441 Advanced Topics in Molecular and
Biomedical Research Ethics
This course is designed to address
those issues
of conflict of interest, mentor/mentee
relatioships, collaborative
research, peer review, data ownership research
misconduct that are
specific to basic science research in cell and
molecular
biologies. The course is composed of
individual sessions designed
by individual Trainer/Trainee pairs that include
resources and
vignettes specific to one of these topics.
