Recommendations for Effective Integration of Ethics and Responsible Conduct of Research (E/RCR) Education into Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences: A Meeting Report. CBE Life Sci Educ. 2019 Jun;18(2):mr2 Authors: Diaz-Martinez LA, Fisher GR, Esparza D, Bhatt JM, D'Arcy CE, Apodaca J, Brownell S, Corwin L, Davis WB, Floyd KW, Killion PJ, Madden J, Marsteller P, Mayfield-Meyer T, McDonald KK, Rosenberg M, Yarborough MA, Olimpo JT Abstract Advancement of the scientific enterprise relies on individuals conducting research in an ethical and responsible manner. Educating emergent scholars in the principles of ethics/responsible conduct of research (E/RCR) is therefore critical to ensuring such advancement. The recent impetus to include authentic research opportunities as part of the undergraduate curriculum, via course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs), has been shown to increase cognitive and noncognitive student outcomes. Because of these important benefits, CUREs are becoming more common and often constitute the first research experience for many students. However, despite the importance of E/RCR in the research process, we know of few efforts to incorporate E/RCR education into CUREs. The Ethics Network for Course-based Opportunities in Undergraduate Research (ENCOUR) was created to address this concern and promote the integration of E/RCR within CUREs in the biological sciences and related disciplines.
