Here's your chance to show me all that you are learning, and my chance to make sure that we are on track to meet the course learning goals. This assignment is designed to get you familiar with policies at CU Denver, and gain experience navigating academic and government websites to locate this type of information.
Read the CU Denver policy for research misconduct and either the Department of Health and Human Services or National Science Foundation's policy for research misconduct and answer the following questions:
1. What is the definition of research misconduct under each policy?
1. The University of Colorado Denver lists four different sections within its definition of research misconduct. First, it lists research misconduct as any fabrication,

The National Science Foundation goes through the same definition as The University of Colorado Denver by stating research misconduct includes falsification, fabrication and plagiarism when proposing, performing, reviewing or reporting any research funded by the NSF. Also, it states research misconduct does not include honest error of differences in opinion.
2. What is one key difference between the policies?
A very important key difference between these two definitions of research misconduct is the National Science Foundation never mentions anything about protecting whistleblowers from retaliation.
3. Do you feel this difference is important? Why or why not?
Yes, fell like this is a very important difference, because protecting whistleblowers should be explicitly mentioned in the definition of research misconduct. Protecting retaliation against a whistleblower confirms researchers are being kept honest and validates research is being done ethically. If protection is not provided for whistleblowers, then individuals who are witnessing research misconduct will be less likely to report an incidence in fear of retaliation. I do not think properly defining research misconduct can be possible without including provisions to protect individuals who are reporting these acts of falsification, fabrication and
N.M. 575,577,555 P.2d 696,698 (1976): “ Misconduct” is limited to conduct envincing such wilful or
For example,it say, “Before the Board of Regents announced its decision, the negative press about Southam’s work had gotten the attention of the NIH, which funded his research and required it's investigators to get consent for all studies involving humans.” Another example,it says, “Beecher published a detailed list of the twenty-two worst offenders, including researchers who'd injected children with hepatitis and others who'd poisoned patients under anesthesia using carbon dioxide. Southam’s study was included as example number 17.” These pieces of textual evidence show how NIH found Southam and other scientists were doing unethical
In today’s society, there are many things that make it hard for white collar crimes to be exposed. One of the main problem portrayed within this movie was how easily the media was able to manipulate exactly what people were allowed to see. Secondly, white collar crimes can be hard to prove because many times major corporations will hire external help to go out and find information that could ruin the whistleblowers reputation. By doing this the whistleblowers credibility can be jeopardized making it easier for the corporation to continue to be seen as a reputable organization (The Insider).
Whilst deception played a huge role in the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, many are aware that deception compromises the integrity of research study. Malicious violations of human rights have transpired throughout American history titles under the name research. Under those past circumstances, there have been some discoveries that helped propel mankind’s survival and advanced knowledge. These discoveries do not validate the cruelties that unprivileged people like African Americans endured. Overall, it should be mandatory for research studies to be ethical and not undermine the values and dignity of humanity.
The history of research ethics begins with tragic historical cases of unethical research and how they contributed toward present values and ethics in research. One of these historical tragic studies was the Tuskegee Syphilis Study conducted by the U.S. Public Health Service in Macon County, Alabama. This post will discuss the unethical behavior of that study.
The 1930s for the United States was not one of the best times in history. October 29, 1929 was the start of the great depression. One of the hardest parts of history in the united states. The Great depression was when the stock market crashed and unemployment skyrocketed. Unemployment reached to nearly 13 to 15 million people, which is about 25 percent, up from 3.2 percent in 1929. Industrial production declined by 50 percent, international trade plunged 30 percent, and investment fell 98 percent, and almost half of the banks in the united states also have failed. People across the nation lost their farms and homes. Some traveled to other states in hopes of employment with no luck.
Another clear cause of the unethical study behaviour lies in the freedom given to the scientists. The researchers
Prosecutorial misconduct is defined as the use of deceptive, illegal or reprehensible methods used by a prosecutor, to attempt to persuade either the court or the jury. Wrongful convictions in this country are nothing new to the criminal justice system. They are as old as the system itself, and they will continue to exist as long as the fallibility of human judgment continues.
When the people hear the word war they think of guns, soldiers, and death. The world war 1 was a total war for North Carolina, even before the United States declared war on Germany in April 1917. When America entered the conflict, there was a good outburst of patriotism. The response to the patriotism, the American’s went for the military service. America’s numbers however were to small to build the army that they needed to fight in the war. In this essay about the steps America took on the homefront to prepare to fight World War 1, you will learn about the drafts, the raise in the army with the public and how they got their men. The last thing you will learn about in this essay is about the Zimmerman Telegram.
A good example of misconduct was the case in Atlanta involving the death of a woman named Kathryn Johnson. To further explain, the police stated that they an undercover agent bought drugs at her house but it wasn’t Kathryn. Law enforcement was able to acquire a warrant to enter Johnson’s home. They were
Interesting choice I would not have caught the connection if it wasn’t for your post. Tom has very bad self-regulation which causes him to continue the behavior that he displays, and jerry also has bad self-regulation. Self-regulation is important for self-control of both characters in this show, but both characters lack it, which makes the behavior ongoing and never ending. Reactive agression is also displayed by Tom because he cannot control the frustration that Jerry causes him to have. The hostile act that he displays is due to Jerry provoking him and since he has bad self-regulation he has no other option than to fight back. Jerry uses positive reinforcement to get Tom to continue fighting back with him. The reinforcements are
One thing I notice is a lot of the misconduct is by the arresting officers or detectives that are investigating the crime. The ways an office can have misconduct that could lead to false convictions, include suggestions when conducting interviews, coercing false confessions, lying to jurors about observations, failing to turn over evidence. Common forms of misconduct by a prosecutor can include, withhold evidence from defense, mishandling, mistreating or destroying evidence, allowing witnesses that they know are not truthful to testify, Pressing Witnesses of the defense to not testify, relying on fraudulent forensic experts.

To ensure that a researcher’s enthusiasm for knowledge and understanding doesn’t let them get carried away, clear guidelines for ethical behaviour in research, a Code of Ethics, have been established by governments, institutions and various professional societies such as the American Psychological Association(APA), the British Psychological Society (BPS) and the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI).
There were some behaviors defined in the program that I was surprised to find academically dishonest. This is mostly because some of these behaviors had never occurred to me. This includes all the lab-related behaviors, such as dry lab data, trimming data, cooking data, ecology tampering, and carelessness. Dry lab data is reporting data for samples that have not been analyzed. Trimming data is cutting out the outliers from data that would “skew” your analyses, while cooking data is creating fabricated, new data to fit your analyses. Ecology tampering is intentionally changing environments between experimental groups to yield the results that you want. Carelessness is not paying close attention to something – calculations, lab procedures, etc. – and inadvertently reporting inaccurate results. All the behaviors described are academically dishonest because students have the same responsibilities as professionally-trained scientists since they are now within the same realm of science. Reporting inaccurate lab/research data can
