Description
Summary:[...]we feel that these also serve to illustrate an important principle in which Macrina also believes--that the ethical challenges faced by researchers continually evolve. [...]there is no single list of rules to memorize that, if followed, will make someone an ethical researcher. Yet, unfortunately, experience tells us that it is only when RCR instruction is mandated, as it was in 1989 for training grants funded by the National Institutes of Health [6], that it becomes commonplace. [...]we hope the recommendations will soon be resurrected and approved. [...]whereas a one-time course or seminar can be extremely valuable, effective RCR training must include much more.
