Resources for Teaching Research Ethics

The cornerstone of TRE is an intensive workshop in teaching research ethics for scientists who train graduate students. Supplements to the workshop include

• A short list of useful resources for teaching research ethics.
• Moral Reasoning in Scientific Research: Cases for Teaching and Assessment, a unique 80-page booklet with six cases specifically designed to teach moral reasoning and assess student improvement in moral reasoning, available free in PDF format or for purchase at cost ($7 US).
• Essays by the TRE project director, presented annually at the workshop:
  • Using Short Writing Assignments in Teaching Research Ethics
  • Using Small Group Assignments in Teaching Research Ethics
  • Using Case Studies in Teaching Research Ethics
  • Providing Professional Training in Research Ethics
  • Assessing Student Learning in the Responsible Conduct of Research
• An archive of Trends, an informal newsletter (no longer being published).
• An outdated annotated bibliography on teaching research ethics.
