Each year Indiana University and the sponsors listed above offer the Teaching Research Ethics
Workshop (TRE) to provide training for those involved in teaching research ethics or in administering
research programs. The workshop emphasizes a variety of pedagogical approaches to teaching research
ethics, through sessions on ethical theory, research ethics, trainee and authorship issues, assessment
and evaluation, responsible data management, integrity in research, conflict of interest, and
international research.
The 2012 workshop will be May 15-18 (Tuesday 4 pm - Friday noon) at the Indiana Memorial Union (IMU) on the campus of Indiana University Bloomington. The fee is $700. Participants are responsible for their own hotel reservations. A block of rooms is available at the IMU.

Ed Goldman from the University of Michigan spoke on Conflict of Interest.
The TRE workshop includes presentations in plenary sessions, intensive sessions that meet Tuesday-Thursday, and breakout sessions that meet once.

Mary Brydon-Miller from the University of Cincinnati led the session on Collaboration, Mentoring, and Authorship.
The need for explicit training in research ethics for
scientists is widely recognized; mentoring and modelling
ethical behavior are no longer considered sufficient. Several
federal agencies, including the National Institutes of Health
(NIH), now require training in the responsible conduct of
research as part of their National Research Service Awards
training grants. Many science faculty members are eager to
include research ethics in their curricula, but their
training is in science, not in teaching ethics.
The Poynter Center has extensive experience in designing
curricular materials for teaching research ethics and in
conducting faculty development workshops in teaching ethics.
Peggy Fischer from the National Science Foundation spoke on Research Integrity.
The workshop has the potential to have a significant impact
on universities throughout the country, affecting faculty,
students, and the institutions as a whole. Faculty
participating in the workshop will be able to design syllabi
or course units integrating substantive issues in research
ethics and will gain competence and confidence in teaching
research ethics. Students of participating faculty will
develop better moral reasoning skills and will be better able
to recognize and act on ethical issues. Institutions of
participating faculty will build a greater commitment to, and
expertise and history in, incorporating research ethics in
science curricula.
Eric Meslin from the Indiana University Center on Bioethics led the session on International Research.
Funding for the first three years of the project came from
the United States Department of Education's Fund for
the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education (FIPSE), the
Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), Indiana
University's Office of Research and the University Graduate School,
and the Poynter Center.
