The majority of responsible conduct of research interventions focus on broad compliance and are presented as an annual one-off training rather than being grounded in the actual experiences of researchers. This project aims to improve lab data collection, record-keeping, and data stewardship practices in STEM disciplines to integrate attention to responsible conduct of research. The project addresses these needs by creating and disseminating effective toolkits to support labs in creating and maintaining customized strong practices to document and share their discoveries and progress. This work includes two phases. A research phase focuses on the causal effects of a communication intervention focused on data management at a single university site. The development phase will draw on the research findings and the team's experience in creating responsible conduct of research materials to develop the toolkit to be disseminated widely to researchers.An earlier project demonstrated that the evidence-based communication approach (deliberative lab conversations) improved the way labs approach the issues of authorship and ethics. This project extends the work to data management practices. Through the research phase, the team will adapt the evidence-based communication approach to incorporate data management practices, assess its efficacy in context, and support its adoption by developing and disseminating an easy-to-use, practical toolkit. The efficacy of the approach will be tested by assessing the quality of labs’ data management plans, and their internal communication, before and after the intervention via pre/midpoint/post surveys. Participating labs will be federally funded STEM and biomedical research labs on a single campus. Using information from this investigation, the project will develop engaging, relevant video and written case study materials to help labs create tailored data management plans fitting their research personnel, equipment, and methods. This will include range of openly available introductory and just-in-time practical resources to support adoption and ongoing lab use to make the communication approach and data management practices more widely available.This project is jointly funded by the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education, Innovations in Graduate Education, and Ethical and Responsible Research Programs.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

大多数负责任的研究干预措施都集中在广泛的依从性上，并作为每年一次的一次性培训表示，而不是基于研究人员的实际经验。该项目旨在改善STEM学科中的实验室数据收集，记录保存和数据管理实践，以整合对负责任的研究的关注。该项目通过创建和传播有效的工具包来支持实验室来创建和维护定制的强大实践，以记录和分享他们的发现和进步，从而解决了这些需求。这项工作包括两个阶段。研究阶段的重点是沟通干预措施的灾难性影响，该沟通干预侧重于单个大学站点。发展阶段将借鉴研究结果以及团队在创建负责任的研究材料方面的经验，以开发该工具包，以广泛向研究人员传播。该项目将工作扩展到数据管理实践。在研究阶段，团队将调整基于证据的沟通方法，以合并数据管理实践，评估其在上下文中的有效性，并通过开发和传播易于使用的实用工具包来支持其采用。该方法的效率将通过评估实验室数据管理计划及其内部通信的质量在干预前/中点/后调查之前和之后测试。参与实验室将是一个校园的联邦资助的STEM和生物医学研究实验室。使用此投资的信息，该项目将开发引人入胜的，相关的视频和书面研究材料，以帮助实验室制定适合其研究人员，设备和方法的量身定制的数据管理计划。这将包括一系列公开可用的介绍性和及时的实用资源，以支持采用和持续的实验室用途，以使沟通方法和数据管理实践更广泛地提供。该项目由改善的本科STEM教育，研究生教育的创新以及道德和负责任的研究计划共同资助，这些项目反映了NSF的智力和良好的依据。 标准。
