PHS 711 - RESPONSIBLE CONDUCT OF RESEARCH

College of Pharmacy

Credits: 2

Research scientists require an understanding of the fundamental principles guiding the ethical and responsible conduct and reporting of their research. Through case studies and reviews of the current literature, students will gain a greater understanding of the ethical and regulatory considerations in research design, conduct, and publication as well as the regulatory landscape governing fiscal compliance, scientific misconduct, research involving vulnerable populations, tissue banking, genetics/genomics, intellectual property, privacy, and data security. The importance of inclusion and diversity of individuals from underrepresented groups, those with disabilities, and individuals from economically disadvantaged backgrounds as investigators is also discussed. Students engage in didactic lectures, small-group breakout discussion sessions, and out of class learning activities to facilitate in-depth training and greater understanding of the relevant issues.
