80063228 - Research Ethics Workshops about responsibilities and duties of scientists (REWards)

Monday, January 22, 2024, 9:00 AM - 4:15 PM, Zoom


Johns Hopkins is deeply committed to the protection of human research subjects. This commitment begins with comprehensive compulsory education and training of its faculty, student, and staff researchers who conduct human subjects research. Research Ethics Workshops about responsibilities and duties of scientists (REWards) is a one-day course in the School of Medicine designed to address key concepts in human subjects protection in specific research communities. REWards combines lectures and small group discussions to provide practical information on the ethical issues involved in research protocol development and implementation.

1. Recognize aspects of study design and conduct that can be ethically problematic including subject recruitment and selection, research-related risks, research modalities, conflicts of interest, privacy, and use of vulnerable populations.
2. Describe the key concepts in informed consent including respect for autonomy, voluntariness, decision-making capacity, disclosure of information, and understanding.
3. Recognize the key concepts in the responsible conduct of research, including data acquisition and management, mentor/trainee responsibilities, publication practices and authorship standards, conflicts of interest and commitment, and scientific misconduct.
