Ethical Challenges of Research: Special Topics 2016

Ethical Challenges of Research: Special Topics
UC San Diego Research Ethics Program

Contemporary researchers face a variety of challenges: reduced federal funding, increasing publication pressures, controversies over conflicts of interest, high profile suspensions of clinical trials, and growing public scrutiny of research methods and outcomes. Success in research and professional development requires awareness of these challenges. It also requires skill in managing them. While professional codes of conduct and principles of responsible conduct of research offer some guidance, they may leave trainees unclear how to proceed in real world disputes or “gray areas.”

Special topics are to be taken after the Introduction course.
