Description 1 online resource Contents Background -- The NRC's [National Research Council, U.S. National Academies] MENA [Middle East and North Africa] project -- Framework for a faculty development program -- Summary Background -- The NRC's MENA Project -- Framework for a faculty development program -- Summary Summary "In many countries, colleges and universities are where the majority of innovative research is done; in all cases, they are where future scientists receive both their initial training and their initial introduction to the norms of scientific conduct regardless of their eventual career paths. Thus, institutions of higher education are particularly relevant to the tasks of education on research with dual use potential, whether for faculty, postdoctoral researchers, graduate and undergraduate students, or technical staff. Research in the Life Sciences with Dual Use Potential describes the outcomes of the planning meeting for a two-year project to develop a network of faculty who will be able to teach the challenges of research in the life sciences with dual use potential. Faculty will be able to incorporate such concepts into their teaching and research through exposure to the tenets of responsible conduct of research in active learning teaching methods. This report is intended to provide guidelines for that effort and to be applicable to any country wishing to adopt this educational model that combines principles of active learning and training with attention to norms of responsible science. The potential audiences include a broad array of current and future scientists and the policymakers who develop laws and regulations around issues of dual use"--Publisher's description Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Supported by the National Research Council and the U.S. Department of State S-LMAQM-10-GR-087 Online resource; title from resource home page (National Academies Press, viewed Apr. 30, 2012) Print version record Subject Life sciences -- Research Life sciences -- Study and teaching (Higher) Life scientists.
