Description |
|
| AN ORI-SPONSORED CONFERENCE of national interest on RESEARCH BIAS AND MISCONDUCT This conference will cover not only how data collection, analyses, and reporting in science can be biased, but also the consequences of engaging in shoddy or unethical practices. Speakers will include nationally prominent researchers and statisticians, journal editors, and experts in the regulatory oversight of research activities. Sessions on the first day will examine the pitfalls of statistical analyses and bias in clinical trials. The second day will cover the consequences of engaging in bad practices or misconduct. Included will be discussions by speakers intimately involved with the recent, widely-publicized misconduct case of the Vermont researcher, Eric Poehlman. The role of editors in detecting and deterring misconduct will be discussed by the President-elect and former Chair of the Publications Committee of the American Physiological Society. This session of the conference will wrap up with an inside look, by a researcher with decades of experience working for the FDA, at the nature and rationale of some FDA practices used in the detection of misconduct.
