| TEACHING “SURVIVAL SKILLS” AND ETHICS 16th Annual Trainer-of-Trainers Conference Supported by NIH June 21-26, 2010 Santa Fe, New Mexico Learn how to implement or improve training in the responsible conduct of research (RCR) and key professional skills at your institution. *** Conference fellowships are available!*** ----------------------------------------------- This conference prepares faculty and administrators to provide training in the responsible conduct of research and in a broad range of professional “survival skills” (e,g., writing research articles, giving research seminars, obtaining employment, securing funding, teaching and mentoring). It is relevant to individuals in research-oriented disciplines who teach at levels ranging from undergraduates through to faculty and professionals. It should be particularly useful to PIs and other individuals at institutions who are required by their funding agencies to provide instruction in RCR. In addition to the training received during the conference, participants will receive an entire curriculum on RCR and professional development, including syllabi, PowerPoint slides, handouts for students, in-class exercises and cases for discussion, and an extensive bibliography. Copies of select books on ethics and program evaluation, as well as an extensive binder (400+pages) of journal articles and other readings also are provided. Conference faculty include the co-directors, Michael Zigmond, PhD and Beth Fischer, PhD from the University of Pittsburgh, as well as Jeanette Hoit, PhD, (University of Arizona), Jeffrey Kahn, PhD, (University of Minnesota), Richard McGee, PhD, (Northwestern University), Debra Parrish, JD, (Parrish Law Offices), Julio Ramirez, PhD, (Davidson College), Gonzalo Torres, PhD, (University of Pittsburgh), Alan West, Carmell Therapeutics Corporation, and Joseph Whittaker, PhD, (Morgan State University). The conference schedule, as well as an application form, are available on our website at www.skillsandethics.org. Applications are considered on a rolling basis. Conference fellowships are available.
