Responsible Conduct in Research
This 1 hour course is
required for all first year graduate students in the
Environmental
Sciences and
Molecular Biosciences programs. It is
designed to introduce students to issues in
scientific integrity and to meet the needs of
funding agency trainee grant requirements for such
training (NIH, etc.). We encourage
post-doctoral students and faculty to also
participate.
Course goals:
We seek to

enable them to:
1. Develop and refine skills needed to solve
problems involving relevant topic areas of
responsible scientific conduct
2. Be able to clearly articulate -- both verbally
and in writing -- ethically and legally acceptable
solutions to problems posed about scientific conduct
3. Develop a positive attitude towards life long
learning in the matters of scientific integrity and
responsible research conduct
Specific

2. Be familiar with statutes that govern the
ownership, protection, and use of intellectual
property in the arena of scientific research
3. Be able to describe conventions and normative
