Instruction in the responsible conduct of research (RCR) is required for all trainees funded by the National Institues of Health (NIH) or National Science Foundation (NSF). A recent Delphi study identified 53 key topics in 7 core areas that RCR education experts felt should be included in this instruction, which is required of many trainees in clinical and translational research. We performed a content analysis of major textbooks and online resources used in RCR instruction to determine the extent to which the 53 key topics identified in the Delphi study are covered by these resources. Textbooks and online resources used in RCR education at Clinical and Translational Science Award institutions were identified via survey. These resources were subjected to a content analysis. The 53 key topics identified in the Delphi study formed the basis of these analyses. We identified 10 textbooks and 1 online resource currently in use. Of the 53 key topics, only 4 were included in all 11 resources, and another 12 were included in 10. Twenty-three topics were covered in fewer than 65% of the resources, and two topics were absent from nearly all. Educators in clinical and translational research should be aware of key topics that are not covered in the RCR textbooks and online resources they may use and should consider augmenting discussion of such topics with other materials.
由美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）或美国国家科学基金会（NSF）资助的所有受训人员都需要接受科研行为责任（RCR）方面的指导。最近一项德尔菲研究确定了7个核心领域中的53个关键主题，RCR教育专家认为这些主题应纳入此类指导中，许多临床和转化研究的受训人员都需要接受这种指导。我们对RCR指导中使用的主要教科书和在线资源进行了内容分析，以确定德尔菲研究中确定的53个关键主题在这些资源中的涵盖程度。通过调查确定了临床和转化科学奖机构中RCR教育使用的教科书和在线资源。对这些资源进行了内容分析。德尔菲研究中确定的53个关键主题构成了这些分析的基础。我们确定了目前正在使用的10本教科书和1个在线资源。在这53个关键主题中，只有4个包含在所有11种资源中，另外还有12个包含在10种资源中。23个主题在不到65%的资源中被涵盖，几乎所有资源都未提及两个主题。临床和转化研究的教育工作者应了解他们可能使用的RCR教科书和在线资源中未涵盖的关键主题，并应考虑用其他材料加强对此类主题的讨论。
