which presons and Institutions do ou have responsibilities for?
Answers
Answer:
Individual researchers have the
responsibility to know and follow
the rules regarding the responsible
conduct of research. They also have
the responsibility to understand the
intention behind the rules and to work
as ethically as possible. Officials at a
research institution have the additionally
responsibility of creating an environment
that encourages both compliant and
ethical research.
Employees, students, and volunteers
should report suspected misconduct
in research to the Research Integrity
Officer. The institution, then, has related
responsibilities to make sure that
concerns about possible misconduct
are treated seriously and with sensitivity
toward all involved. Institutional
responsibilities include:
1). Reviewing allegations;
2). Protecting whistleblowers and
respondents;
3). Conducting inquiries and
investigations;
4). Reporting findings to appropriate
constituencies;
5). Creating and maintaining conflict of
interest policies; and
6). Appointing and supporting the
Institutional Animal Care and Use
Committee and the Institutional Review
Board (that oversees human subjects
research).
By the end of this section, successful
readers will be able to describe some
of the ways that these institutional
responsibilities can be met.
