(AAAS), Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), and the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) will convene a conference on "Research on Research

discuss "emerging challenges for the responsible conduct of research."
Information on the conference can be found at http://ori.dhhs.gov
Abstracts for papers and poster sessions are due by April 30, 2000.
Preference will be given to research on research integrity, but
interpretative literature reviews, theoretical papers, and identification of
research areas with high potential for addressing (1) the responsible conduct
of research, (2) the promotion of research integrity, (3) the prevention of
misconduct, and (4) the handling of allegations of scientific misconduct are
welcomed.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: data recording, data
retention, data analysis, quality control, and the management of
laboratories, authorship, plagiarism and publication practices, the
detection, reporting, and investigation of alleged misconduct, respondents,
whistleblowers, mentoring, postdocs, lab technicians and career pressures,
confidentiality, retaliation, and the incidence of misconduct, the
development of normative standards, responsible conduct of research training
and elements of a research environment that promote integrity, the role of
professional associations and scientific societies in promoting integrity,
collaborative research, and the differential opportunity to commit research
misconduct across scientific disciplines.
Abstracts for papers and poster sessions are welcomed on programs to promote
research integrity, ways to improve programs and assess their effectiveness,
and research opportunities related to such programs.
