RCR Workshop: The Intersection of Human Research, Privacy, Consent and Data Sharing
Marvin Center, Room 402-404
July 25, 2019 -- 2:00 – 3:30 p.m.
The Office of Research Integrity is hosting a Responsible Conduct of Research session on a case study from Duke University in which an image dataset was removed by university officials after public outcry and determinations of non-compliance.
The intersection of human subjects, privacy protections, and human rights is highlighted in
the Duke case, which also represents modern research ethics concerns for all researchers, and is applicable across all research disciplines.

GW CIBER Event: Understanding Trump’s National Security Tariffs
Date/Time: Monday, June 3, 2019, 4:00pm - 7:00pmLocation: Jack Morton Auditorium, 805 21st St, NW
In March 2018, President Trump imposed a 25% duty on steel and a 10% duty on aluminum. Most countries are covered by these tariffs but some have negotiated quotas with the United States. National security tariffs are now looming for automobiles and auto parts, and section 232 investigations are underway for uranium and titanium sponge.
Two expert panels will examine:
- The arcane law and its limits as tested by litigation.
- Proposed legislation to restrict the President’s authority.
- The steel and aluminum tariffs and the product exclusion process, and how these have impacted US manufacturers and global supply chains.
- The effect of such tariffs on the auto industry.
- The impact on the negotiation of free trade agreements.
Event: CNSR STIx Briefing
The Coalition for National Research (CNSR) STIX on the Hill is a Congressional Briefing on Science, Technology, & Information Exchange (STIX). This is a great showcase of innovative DOD-fundedresearch for Members of Congress and their staff. For more information, check our previous post on our Research Blog or contact Shane Seger in OVPR if you are interested in presenting a poster or being connected with the event's organizer.
