LANGURE has grown into three major new initiatives:

1) OpenSeminar in Research Ethics, our online course

2) Research ethics online community, our virtual gathering point

3) Extend and Assess Research Ethics Education, a follow-up NSF project to integrate research ethics education into the entire graduate curricula of all the doctoral-degree campuses of the University of North Carolina system

Thanks for your help in making LANGURE such a success! Work is suspended here but we carry on at the new locations. Please join us there.

 

Welcome. LANGURE ("LANG-er") means "Land Grant University Research Ethics," a national collaboration of eight land grant and historically black universities, a private corporation, a national consortium for education in responsible conduct of research, and an open source software group.. LANGURE involves more than 130 faculty and graduate students dedicated to developing a model curriculum in research ethics for doctoral candidates in engineering and the physical, social, and life sciences. North Carolina State University, home of the three directors, is the lead institution. Our work is sponsored by a major grant from the National Science Foundation for 2005-2008 called "A Model Curriculum for Land Grant Universities in Research Ethics."

National impact:

Dr. Rachelle Hollander, program director for the National Science Foundation's (NSF) initiative in Ethics Education in Science and Engineering, writes that “LANGURE is one of 11 projects that NSF is funding this year (2005) to improve ethics education for graduate students in the fields of science and engineering that NSF supports. While many universities with medical schools have instructional materials in responsible conduct of research, most land-grant universities – which typically do not have medical schools – have not created a similar set of instructional materials. LANGURE is an ambitious and well-planned initiative to address that need.”
