Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research (RECR) Workshop:
Study Design and Data Visualization: Ethics and Considerations
Presenter: J. Tucker Krone, Adjunct Lecturer, McKelvey School of Engineering
*Registration is required to receive credit for the training*
Two main goals of research are to advance science and help society. Two important aspects of meeting the goals of research are to (1) run an unbiased study that can actually support your claim and (2) communicate the findings of your research to other people at multiple levels – experts, peers, policy makers, lay people, etc. The Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research seminar Study Design and Data Visualization: Ethics and Considerations will explore study design aspects to consider before implementing a study to recognize potential biases and ethical pitfalls as well as discuss effective visual communication of research findings. This seminar will use examples from the media and publications to reinforce the content presented. The goal of this seminar to increase your awareness of the impact of your study design choices and your critical thinking ability to both create and critique data visualizations.
This course is offered to help fulfill NSF’s RECR continuing education requirement of at least one face-to-face education session each project year.
If you are an NIH trainee seeking to meet requirements as outlined in the NIH notice titled “Update on the Requirement for Instruction in the Responsible Conduct of Research” ( https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-10-019.html), please discuss this workshop with your mentor to determine whether it meets the requirements or whether further training is required.
