PRACTICUM DESCRIPTION
|
|
In anticipation of a new federal-wide definition
and policy for research misconduct, come join your colleages at a one-and-a-half-day
practicum on research misconduct where participants will have ample opportunity
to obtain hands-on experience and interact with colleagues and government
officials. The practicum will help improve understanding of policies,
procedures and methods for responding to allegations of research misconduct.
Topics to be covered include the revised definition
of reseach misconduct and policy for pursuing allegations, what to do
when someone brings an allegation, who should be involved, what evidence
needs to be gathered, how to conduct an inquiry and investigation, how
institutional regulations relate to those of the federal government, how
to secure and retain records, and who to inform of the outcome.
The practicum will consist of both plenary and
breakout sessions, and will feature opportunities to converse with speakers
experienced in dealing with cases at institutions as well as government
officials responsible for implementing federal regulations.
