ALL ACADEMICS AND STAFF AT UCSD
ALL STUDENTS AT UCSD
SUBJECT: RESEARCH ETHICS PROGRAM
This notice is being sent to increase awareness of resources available
to support integrity in research at UCSD. The Research Ethics Program
was founded in 1997 to provide a variety of teaching, research, and
service activities relevant to the responsible conduct of research. The
importance of these issues has only increased in recent years with
increases in: the requirements for training in responsible conduct of
research; the public scrutiny of academic conflicts of interest, the
conduct of research, and even the choices about what will be studied;
and concerns about research and development in a wide range of areas,
such as human embryonic stem cells, robotics, genetically modified
crops, and nanotechnology. These and many other topics are the focus of
Research Ethics Program activities.
For more information about these activities, please check the Research
Ethics Program Web site at:
COURSES

career development awards from the National Institutes of Health and

SEMINAR SERIES
Three monthly seminar series are open to all interested individuals.
The Biomedical Ethics Seminar Series is a forum for ethics discussions
involving medicine, clinical research, basic research, and academia.
Tough Cases is a lunch-time discussion meeting, primarily for medical,
pharmacy, and other graduate students in the School of Medicine to
address specific problems in the practice of medicine and research. The
Research Ethics Journal Club meets to discuss readings relevant to the
discipline of research ethics. More information about these seminar
series can be found at:
SUPPORT SERVICES
The Research Ethics Program is able to provide assistance with a wide
range of ethics support services to departments, research groups, and
individual faculty. Please feel free to contact the Research Ethics
Program if you are interested in incorporating ethics into existing or
