On 1 December 2000, ORI published regulations requiring all research staff working on Public Health Service - funded projects to get
formal ethics training — not just NIH trainees as was previously the case.
Even though there is currently little consideration of
ethics in
formal PhD
training, all students should get involved in debates and broaden their awareness of the
ethics behind their own research.
In my experience, a great project manager, like any manager, is great due more to his or her personality, communication, and work
ethic than
formal training.
