VSE faculty:
Attached is a call for proposals to develop a 1-hour course on the
responsible conduct of research. Here are some comments from the
attachment:
The George Mason University Office of Research Integrity & Assurance
is developing a faculty-led course on the responsible conduct of
research (RCR) and is seeking faculty proposals for course
development during summer 2014. The responsible conduct of research
series will be offered during fall semester 2014. The office is
offering a $500 stipend for development of each one-hour interactive
course with the additional expectation that selected faculty will
attend one planning meeting in May 2014 and teach the one hour
course fall semester 2014 during the RCR series.
It is anticipated that the series will have 30 attendees, primarily
graduate students but also post-doctoral scholars and undergraduate
students. Proposals should fit within one or more of the following
categories of responsible conduct of research:
1. conflict of interest -- personal, professional, and financial;
2. policies regarding human subjects, live vertebrate animal
subjects in research, and safe laboratory practices;
3. mentor/mentee responsibilities and relationships;
4. collaborative research including collaborations with industry;
5. peer review;
6. data acquisition and laboratory tools; management, sharing and
ownership;
7. research misconduct and policies for handling misconduct;
8. responsible authorship and publication;
9. the scientist as a responsible member of society, contemporary
ethical issues in research, and the environmental and societal
impacts of scientific research.
... To apply, complete the attached brief proposal document and
submit to Donna Sherrard at [log in to unmask] no later than April 4,
2014 at 5pm.
