We have found that conference participants benefit a great deal from being able to interact with other attendees who share their commitment to providing instruction in professional development and/or research ethics. Because of this, as well as the fact that the conference is limited to only 40 persons, individuals who wish to attend the conference need to apply and to be accepted as participants in the conference. This application process helps us to provide the best learning environment and resources possible for all participants.

1.       Indiividuals who wish to attend the conference should submit a
          completed application form.

2.      Criteria used in selecting participants are as follows:

a. Individuals must agree to:

– attend the entire conference, Sunday afternoon through Friday evening.

– establish or improve an existing course in survival skills and/or ethics at their institution by Fall 2009 for at least 25 individuals per year.

– participate in evaluating the course they establish. This evaluation will include surveying the participants of that course and providing the conference organizers with additional information such as a description of the program and permission to conduct an on-site, follow-up evaluation.

   b. Among those who meet the above requirements, preference is given
        to individuals who:

– will train the largest numbers of students.

– have a detailed plan for implementation of instruction.

– will provide training to a significant number of individuals from underserved populations.

– show evidence of institutional support for this project (e.g., funding, release time, etc.).

    3.        Acceptance: Applications are considered on a rolling basis, and individuals will be notified of the outcome within a month of the receipt of their application.
