Proposed Project: Research Mentoring Dyad: Comparing the Views of
Faculty Advisors/Mentors and Their Ph.D. Students on Training/Learning
to Be a Responsible Researcher--OMB No. 0990-New--Office of Research
Integrity (ORI).
Abstract: This effort is consistent with the directive to ORI to
``focus more on preventing misconduct and promoting research
integrity'' (Federal Register: May 12, 2000, Volume 65, Number 93).
Study results will be used to promote mentoring best practices, in
particular for the responsible conduct of research, by raising
awareness of the role of faculty members in developing young
scientists, promoting discussion in the scientific community, and
informing institutions on where and how to focus resources from the
unique perspective of both faculty and doctoral student. To gather
information to promote ORI's objectives, this study will use in-depth
personal interviews with 100 faculty who participated in the ORI
Faculty Survey and agreed to be re-contacted and 100 matched doctoral
students who have graduated in the last five years. These one-time
interviews will be used to find out how faculty and their students view
the training and education of responsible researchers. Interviews with
matched faculty/doctoral student pairs will provide a unique
opportunity to compare these two perspectives and will strengthen and
elaborate on the ORI Faculty Survey results.
