As part of the revised curriculum of the NIH T32 Training Grant mechanism, 6 hr of formal instruction in ethics of research are now required. We therefore implemented a four-session seminar (6 hr total time) structured around assigned readings, didactic presentations, and group discussions. The objective of this research project was to assess whether this new program provided our trainees with a framework for ethical conduct in research. Twelve trainees completed the ethics course; 8 trainees who had not yet taken the ethics course served as a control group. All trainees answered a 72-item questionnaire of our own design that examined a variety of issues in research ethics. We compared the responses of seminar participant and nonparticipant groups using the Fisher exact test and Student t test for nominal and ordinal data, respectively. Both groups of trainees perceived that too much emphasis was placed on quantity rather than quality of publications. Both groups felt that this pressure emanated from department chairmen rather than laboratory mentors (P < 0.0001). In contrast to these shared perceptions, the two groups demonstrated many differences in their comprehension of research ethics. For example, compared to the controls, trainees who participated in the ethics course believed that they could define potential NIH standards for data storage and research mentorship (P < 0.05), understood gratuitous manuscript authorship (P < 0.05), were comfortable in dealing with outlier or discordant data (P < 0.10), and, most pertinently, were fully prepared to seek third-party input into an ethical dilemma involving their own work (P < 0.006).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
