This Ethics Education in Science and Engineering project will build capacity for faculty to educate graduate students about research ethics in the context of the research environment. This approach is grounded in and flows from extensive empirical evidence that standards of conduct depend as much or more on the work environment than on participation in isolated courses or online tutorials. The four project objectives include: 1. Consensus Conference to develop a framework to build a curriculum for Capacity-Building Workshops. 2. Curriculum Development for the Workshops. 3. Capacity-Building Workshops. 4. Outcome Assessments: Revise and finalize the Workshop curriculum based on feedback from faculty participants and their graduate student trainees. This project will pilot the proposed workshops in 8 public and 7 private graduate institutions, including 3 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). To foster approaches responsive to the globalization of the research community, the proposed Expert Panel includes a member with extensive academic connections in China, and Chinese graduate students will be among those assisting with key aspects of curriculum development. Broader impacts will derive from the activities, outputs and outcomes of this project and will enhance graduate ethics education for STEM graduate students while promoting the development of a diverse community of researchers better prepared to model the highest standards of scientific conduct. Results of the project will be promptly and widely disseminated through workshops conducted by participating faculty, established research ethics websites as well as the new National Center for Professional and Research Ethics.

该科学与工程伦理教育项目将培养教师在研究环境中对研究生进行研究伦理教育的能力。这种方法基于并源于大量的经验证据，即行为标准对工作环境的依赖程度与对孤立课程或在线教程的参与程度的依赖程度相同或更多。四个项目目标包括： 1. 召开共识会议，制定能力建设研讨会课程框架。 2. 研讨会的课程开发。 3. 能力建设研讨会。 4. 结果评估：根据教师参与者及其研究生学员的反馈修改并最终确定研讨会课程。该项目将在 8 个公立和 7 个私立研究生机构（包括 3 所传统黑人学院和大学 (HBCU)）试行拟议的研讨会。 为了培育适应研究界全球化的方法，拟议的专家小组包括一名在中国拥有广泛学术关系的成员，中国研究生将成为协助课程开发关键方面的人员之一。该项目的活动、成果和成果将产生更广泛的影响，并将加强对 STEM 研究生的研究生道德教育，同时促进多元化研究人员社区的发展，更好地为最高标准的科学行为建模做好准备。该项目的结果将通过参与教师举办的研讨会、建立的研究伦理网站以及新的国家专业和研究伦理中心得到及时和广泛传播。
