We wish to bring to your attention an important event scheduled on our campus from October 1-3, 1998. In the planning stages for months, the University of Arizona along with the Public Health Service's Office of Research Integrity will be cosponsoring the first ever meeting on the management of biomedical research laboratories. Individual sessions will offer veteran, new and prospective laboratory directors, research administrators, and post-docs and graduate students an opportunity to discuss seven topics essential to productive laboratories with 16 experienced researchers and research administrators from around the country.
Registration is required.
Please note that undergraduate and graduate students as well as post doctoral fellows affiliated with the University of Arizona will be permitted to register for no charge. The ethical questions that arise during the conduct of research are many. Moreover, the fact that sometimes these ethical questions become clouded by the actual intent to defraud or deceive is not unheard of within the academic community. However, the desire to prevent these detours from the path of good science and scholarship must be of paramount importance to all of us who have chosen teaching, research, and public service as our life's work. How better to improve our knowledge of mentoring, reporting, data management, collaborative research, and credit than by interacting with outstanding researchers who are known for their high standards and experience as actual situations and real problems are addressed.
