National
Academy of Sciences, On Being a Scientist (1994)
The
scientific research enterprise, like other human activities,
is built on a foundation of trust. Scientists trust
that the results reported by others are valid. Society
trusts that the results of research reflect an honest
attempt by scientists to describe the world accurately
and without bias. The level of trust that has characterized
science and its relationship with society has contributed
to a period of unparalleled scientific productivity.
But this trust will endure only if the scientific community
devotes itself to exemplifying and transmitting the
values associated with ethical scientific conduct.

The BRET office sponsors training in “Responsible Conduct of Research.” The program is
designed to help scientists identify and deal with ethical issues
and dilemmas, and to promote open discussion of such topics
as:
-
institutional and NIH policies regarding scientific misconduct
and conflicts of interest
- ethical
considerations of research involving human and animal subjects
- data
management, record keeping, and intellectual property
- responsible
authorship and review of scientific publications and grants
During
RCR, formal lectures on these subjects are complemented
by small group discussions and case study analyses, some of
which are derived from Scientific Integrity: An Introductory
Text with Cases by Francis L. Macrina, American Society for
Microbiology; 2nd edition, January 15, 2000.
For
doctoral students:
Attendance is mandatory for doctoral students
in the biomedical sciences. Students in the IGP/CPB attend RCR in their first year, while MSTP students can choose
to attend at any time during the first three years of the
program, but no later than the G1 phase of their training.
Successful completion of the program is obligatory for graduation
in all participating departments of the IGP/CPB and MSTP. Students
register for this zero credit course through the Graduate
School.
For
post-doctoral fellows:
RCR fulfills the NIH training grant requirement for instruction
in Responsible Conduct of Research (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/not92-236.html)
and is open to any member of the Vanderbilt University scientific
community who wishes to participate. Contact Gisel Martinez,
Program Coordinator, 343-1908 or gisel.a.martinez@vanderbilt.edu.
The
registration fee for post-docs is $50 and includes refreshments
and lunch, as well as certificate of completion.
