MED 255: The Responsible Conduct of Research
The Responsible Conduct of Research course is designed to engage participants in productive discussions about ethical issues that are commonly encountered during their research careers. This course is required for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars who are supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health. Many departments and programs also recommend or require this course as part of their curricula.
The objectives of the course are:
- To engage participants in case-based discussions of ethical issues commonly encountered in, and raised by, current biomedical research.
- To introduce participants to methods of analysis of ethical issues
- To introduce participants to policies and regulations relevant to the conduct of research.

MED 255C, The Responsible Conduct of Research for Clinical Researchers, will be offered for the first time on November 7, 2009. This special section of MED 255 has been designed specifically to engage clinical researchers in productive discussions about ethical issues commonly encountered during their clinical research careers, and addresses contemporary debates at the interface of biomedical science andsociety. All who are, or will be, conducting clinical research are encouraged to attend.
Topics covered will be different from those of MED 255 and will include:
(1) Clinical research versus clinical care;
(2) Protecting human subjects; (3) Conflicts of interest in clinical research; (4) Returning research results and incidental findings; (5) Human biological materials and biobanking; (6) Community consent and recruitment; and (7) Ethical issues in placebo versus active control trials.
