<p> RESPONSIBLE CONDUCT OF RESEARCH Chem 797J (one credit) MAY 2017</p><p>Tuesday (May 16), Wednesday (May 17), Monday (May 22), Wednesday (May 24) • May 16 – 24 • 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. • 745E LGRT</p><p>This course was designed to provide graduate students working at the interface of chemistry and biology with a solid background in research ethics. The course is arranged in four two‐hour sessions (see below for content). Each session will be structured as follows: (1) introduction/background for the topics to be discussed; (2) discussion groups and analysis of relevant case studies illustrating ethical dilemmas encountered by laboratory researchers; and (3) concluding summary and wrap‐up. Case studies will be distributed to students in advance and students are expected to read assigned material before the beginning of each session. During each session, discussion groups will be asked to come to a consensus for each case study on the ethical issue at hand and to suggest an appropriate course of action to address the situation. Each group will present their case study followed by a class‐wide discussion. Students should e-mail Nyudlia Araeva, CBI Program Coordinator, at [email protected] to preregister and to obtain the case studies to be discussed. Grades will be based on attendance (mandatory for all four sessions) and completion of the online computer‐ based training on biomedical research for researchers and research staff that can be accessed at https://www.citiprogram.org Certificates of completion of on-line training will be required for the successful completion of this course. They should be also e-mailed to [email protected] by May 31, 2017.</p><p>Tuesday, May 16th Wednesday, May 17th Alejandro Heuck, BMB Robert MacWright, UMass Technology Transfer [email protected] Office [email protected]</p><p>Ethics in the laboratory/Research misconduct I Intellectual property Introduction: definition of ethics, morality, • Ownership of scientific data misconduct • Assignment of credit Data management • Proprietary information Conflict of Interest Monday, May 22nd Wednesday, May 24th Maria Santore, PSE Mike Knapp, Chemistry [email protected] [email protected]</p><p>Ethics in the lab/Research misconduct II Science and society • Data falsification and fabrication Moral, civil and safety implications of • Plagiarism scientific research • Mentoring and institutional guidelines • Animal and human subjects • Talking to the public</p>
