Responsible Conduct of Research Short Courses

Join SfN's effort to support and promote rigorous science.

Overview

SfN is committed to supporting and promoting rigorous science. This half-day short course on the topic of responsible conduct occurs on the Friday before SfN's annual meeting. Training includes lectures and guided discussions that enable you to explore varying topics through a neuroscience-specific lens. The course meets NIH requirements for instruction in the responsible conduct of research.

Short Course 3: Cultivating Professionalism and Excellence in the Research Landscape

Organizers: Roz Segal, MD, PhD; Carlos Aizenman, PhD; Janet Clark, PhD; Marguerite Matthews, PhD; and Keith Trujillo, PhD

Faculty: Sherilynn Black, PhD; Claire Horner-Devine, PhD; Marguerite Matthews, PhD

Date & Time: October 18, 2019, from 1:00 p.m. — 5:30 p.m. CDT

Location: McCormick Place, Room S106

Successful training in academic research and career development is heavily reliant on the ability of all members of the research community to demonstrate professionalism and maintain productive collaborative relationships. A significant part of achieving this professional excellence is largely dependent on an institution's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion of all students, trainees, and faculty, especially those who belong to underrepresented groups. During this short course, attendees will explore how early career neuroscientists can navigate different aspects of the research landscape, including circumstances resulting from power dynamics, structural inequities, and different forms of bias. Participants will engage in a series of interactive exercises focused on cultural awareness and a multiple mentors framework. The course is designed with senior graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in mind, with a goal of empowering trainees as they successfully progress through their research careers.
