Education in the responsible conduct of research (RCR) in the United States has evolved over the past decade from targeting trainees to including educational efforts aimed at faculty and staff. In addition RCR education has become more focused as federal agencies have moved to recommend specific content and to mandate education in certain areas. RCR education has therefore become a research-compliance issue necessitating the development of policies and the commitment of resources to develop or expand systems for educating faculty and staff and for assuring compliance. These changes implied the need to develop a program evaluation model that could be applied to institutional RCR education programs, which were expected to differ from traditional academic credit-bearing courses targeting trainees. Information gleaned from the examination of corporate compliance models was analyzed in order to create a program evaluation module that could be used to document and assess educational programs focused on teaching RCR. A programmed series of questions for each of the nine RCR content areas identified by the United States Office of Research Integrity was created based on a performance-monitoring evaluation model. The questions focus on educational goals, resources provided to support the educational efforts, educational content, content delivery, educational outcomes, compliance requirements and feedback. Answers collected in response to the questions could be used to both document and continually improve the quality of RCR educational programs through on-going formative assessment and feedback.
在美国，负责任的研究行为（RCR）教育在过去十年中已经从针对受训人员发展到包括针对教师和工作人员的教育工作。此外，随着联邦机构采取行动，建议特定的内容并在某些领域强制开展教育，RCR 教育变得更加集中。因此，RCR 教育已成为一个研究合规问题，需要制定政策并投入资源来开发或扩大教育教师和工作人员以及确保合规的系统。这些变化意味着需要开发一个可以应用于机构 RCR 教育计划的方案评估模型，该模型预计将与针对受训人员的传统学术学分课程有所不同。为了创建一个可以用于记录和评估专注于教授 RCR 的教育计划的方案评估模块，分析了从公司合规模型审查中收集的信息。根据绩效监测评估模型，为美国研究诚信办公室确定的九个 RCR 内容领域中的每一个创建了一系列问题。这些问题侧重于教育目标、支持教育工作的资源、教育内容、内容传递、教育成果、合规要求和反馈。为响应这些问题而收集的答案可以通过持续的形成性评估和反馈来记录和不断提高 RCR 教育计划的质量。
