  • Responsible Conduct of Research

I posted a series of cases that highlight challenges scientists face when conducting research with human participants.

To receive credit for the final project in the Responsible Conduct of Research course I invite students to comment on those or other cases on this blog.  Add your comments under the case they pertain to.  A thoughtful paragraph will suffice. 

The three most recent cases focus on:

  • A biobank established at Vanderbilt for genomics research
  • The return of stored specimens to a Native American tribe who objected to their use for secondary research projects
  • A case of research misconduct by a Harvard professor 

If you join the dicsussion, please also send an e-mail to responsible.research.ucsf@gmail.com saying that you have commented, so that you will receive credit for the course. 

Also, let me know how you like the approach of commenting on a blog as an option for completing the course.

I look forward to your comments!

The good thing about your information is that it is explicit enough for students to grasp. Thanks for your efforts in spreading academic knowledge.
