These cases and commentaries result from a series of workshops on Graduate Research Ethics Education, held at Indiana University, Bloomington, from 1996 to 2000. The project brought together many graduate and post-doctoral students in the natural sciences for a study of research ethics and reflects the experiences and problems they face. The project was sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF Grant No. SBR 9421897) to the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics (APPE); The Office of Research, University Graduate School, and Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics and American Institutions, all at Indiana University.

These cases are works of fiction which reflect the current state of scientific and engineering knowledge at the time they were written. Names, characters, and places are products of the author's imagination or are used fictitiously.
