Item Ethical conundrums of current U.S. funding agency security efforts(2023-11-14) Pritt, StacyResearch security became a focal point for U.S. federal agencies funding academic research in 2018 when NIH started sending notifications to dozens of academic institutions about concerns involving foreign influence in research. The effort to determine the scope and extent of the foreign influence, which started years before 2018, continues today and has culminated in the release of draft Research Security Program (RSP) requirements. Lost in this effort are the ethical conundrums presented by the federal government's shifting requirements, inconsistent responses by academic institutions, and the potential chilling effect that all of this has on international research collaborations. This session will break down the concerns U.S. agencies have with inappropriate foreign influence in research, review how those concerns have evolved since 2018, and identify the ethical conundrums inherent to this topic.Item International perspectives on research ethics and scientific integrity: at home and abroad(2013-12-10) Heitman, ElizabethThe globalization of biomedical science has transformed collaboration in laboratory and clinical research and raised new challenges for US researchers' understanding of research ethics and scientific integrity. There are few universally accepted standards of responsible research practice and almost no worldwide regulation or oversight bodies governing research collaboration across national borders. Although English is widely used as the international language of biomedical science, the practical vocabulary of research integrity can still vary markedly among countries and cultures. This presentation will examine the growing diversity of research collaborations at home and abroad, the ethical questions that such collaborations may face, and recent efforts to define international practice standards and ethical norms for research in global health and biomedical science.
