Teaching Research Ethics Workshop (TRE)
The Office of Research Compliance is excited to offer an opportunity for one faculty member to attend Indiana University’s Teaching Research Ethics Workshop (TRE) in May 2012.
Each year Indiana University and various sponsors offer the Teaching Research Ethics Workshop (TRE) to provide training for those involved in teaching research ethics or in administering research programs. The workshop emphasizes a variety of pedagogical approaches to teaching research ethics, through sessions on ethical theory, research ethics, trainee and authorship issues, assessment and evaluation, responsible data management, integrity in research, conflict of interest, and international research.
For more information on TRE, please visit their website.
To be considered for this opportunity, please send an email to Tracy Arwood indicating your interest and describing how you might incorporate this valuable information into your interaction with faculty and students. Deadline for submissions is March 1.

Research Ethics/Responsibile Conduct of Research Workshop - Daniel Wueste
The purpose of the workshop is to equip participants to deal with ethical issues in research practice and to teach others how to deal with them. Special attention will be focused on helping participants understand how ethical research practice/responsible conduct of research is linked to but not reducible to compliance with legal requirements and/or the specific requirements of a grant. In particular, we will direct attention to the sense in which the norms of ethical research practice are internal to the practice of research (and in fact intimately linked to the possibility of success in the research enterprise) and thus not imposed on researchers by outside forces. We will also explore the links between the principles of research practice and basic ethical considerations (the stuff of ethical theory) and the Rutland Institute's "toolbox approach" and decision framework. We will do these things in a very user-friendly way that emphasizes engagement, in case-based discussion as well as the presentation of basic materials and the "theory" that will find its way into practice.
