Promoting the responsible conduct of research needs to be an ongoing process not a one-time educational activity. The NIH recommends that RCR training should minimally occur at every career stage. However, it is not only important to do continual training and discussion of RCR for developmental reasons, but also because the scientific environment changes. New methods, discoveries and technologies demand new considerations for what it means to be a responsible researcher. This chapter discusses some of the emerging areas that are likely to raise additional scientific integrity issues including such developments as an increase in the collection of biological specimens to supplement social science data, increasing research with international and other culturally diverse populations, new technologies for collecting and storing data, the changing publication and data sharing environment, and faculty engagement in entrepreneurial activities.Less
