A video simulation on research integrity, entitled "The Lab", will be released within the next month on the ORI web site and as a DVD. This simulation focuses on a hypothetical research misconduct case that causes lab to lose funding, create bad publicity for the university, and eventually causes the withdrawal of a multi-million dollar endowment.
Like the popular "Choose Your Own Adventures" stories, "The Lab" will allow viewers the opportunity to undo the damage by assuming the roles of a graduate student, post doc, principal investigator,
and a research integrity officer and make decisions to prevent misconduct from occurring unnoticed. The interactive video addresses the handling of misconduct, data management, authorship, mentoring, work-life balance, and other issues that today's researchers face. A fully-functional online version will be available on the ORI site in January, with a DVD version expected to ship PHS funded institutions before February 2011.
