Peer-reviewed publications are the cornerstone of academic promotion, as

scientists have responsibilities for honesty, fairness, and transparency in the
assignment of authorship, claiming of credit, and disclosure of potential
conflicts of interest when they publish their work. This interactive, case-based
workshop will explore some of the challenges and dilemmas researchers can face
in trying to fulfill these responsibilities.

National Guide to Funding in Health, 8th ed., lists 10,700 U.S. foundations that
fund health-related activities. Add corporate and government funding resources
and it is hard to know where to begin the grant seeking process. This session
will focus on the strengths and weaknesses of on-line information sources for
identifying funding resources. In addition, major print and CD-ROM resources
will be discussed and resources that support the writing of grants will be
included.
