Ethical Conduct of Research
MEMORANDUM
From: Paul Young, Vice-President, Research and Innovation
Cheryl Misak, Vice-President & Provost
Date: December 4, 2012
Re: Ethical Conduct of Research
________________________________________
The University of Toronto has recently signed the agreement with the Tri-Agency (Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada) which allows us to continue administering Tri-Agency funds. All eligible Canadian institutions wanting to administer Tri-Agency funds will be signing this agreement. In essence, the agreement codifies, clarifies and harmonizes the roles and responsibilities of the Tri-Agency and of institutions in the management of federal grants and awards.
At this time, we want to remind our research community of the following:
a. The Tri-Agency Framework: Responsible Conduct of Research. This articulates the tri-agency research integrity policy, agency policies, and processes and procedures for dealing with allegations of policy breaches (including research misconduct). All those applying for and receiving tri-agency funds should be familiar with this Framework.
b. The Tri-Council Statement Policy Statement on Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans;
c. The guidelines of the Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC);
d. The University’s Policy on Ethical Conduct in Research that sets “the highest standards of ethical conduct in every aspect of research including applications, proposals, the research itself, reports and publications” as an expectation of all members of the University;
e. The University’s Framework to Address Allegations of Research Misconduct that ensures University policies and procedures remain consistent with best practices and the expectations of the Tri-Agency. The University’s Framework defines research misconduct as “any research practice that deviates seriously from the commonly accepted ethics/integrity standards or practices of the relevant research community and includes but is not limited to intentional fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism as defined by the University’s Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters. However, in the latter respect, due latitude is given for honest errors, honest differences in methodology, interpretation or judgment, or divergent paradigms in science; what is at issue are genuine breaches of the integrity of the research process.”
We expect our academic community to be knowledgeable about these relevant policies/documents concerning academic/scientific integrity. Therefore, we ask the following of you:
1. Bring the above policies/documents to the attention of your divisions at the Council level and also to the attention of Departments with the request that they circulate this information to all their faculty;
2. Initiate and promote discipline-specific discussion about standards and expectations, including but not limited to misleading publications including self-plagiarism.
3. Encourage all faculty to bring research integrity and ethics issues to the attention of their research students.
The Provost and the Vice-President, Research and Innovation will be tabling this at upcoming P&D and PDAD&C meetings.

Acquisition of an institutional Webinar/Webconferencing Solution
PDAD&C#29, 2012-13
To: PDAD&C
From: Avi Hyman, Director, Academic & Collaborative Technologies
Date: December 14, 2012
Re: Acquisition of an institutional Webinar/Webconferencing Solution
We are pleased to announce the recent acquisition of Bb Collaborate software as an institutional Webinar/Webconferencing solution.
Collaborate allows for the creation of live (synchronous) Œvirtual classrooms and meetings, where participants can remotely access audio, video, presentations, whiteboards, live polling and shared desktops, among other features.
Virtual rooms have been gaining in popularity in various UofT departments over the past few years, including for use in professional development, and for online learning. Until now, departments have had to pay for solutions directly, and in the absence of a University-wide standard, we¹ve seen the use of many different products, which has made ongoing support more difficult and which has increased the overall cost to the University for these kinds of services.
Our site license allows for university-wide use for both internal activities (e.g. course delivery), as well as external use (e.g. hosting virtual conferences) all at no cost to departments or divisions as a result of funding from the Office of the Provost.
Internal virtual sessions can be directly, securely and easily integrated and delivered through our Learning Portal, and external sessions and meetings can be created without the need to assign UTorIDs to guests. And as an added bonus, sessions can be recorded for later playback and use as video-on-demand.
For the past two years, the University has been making a commitment to deploy a wider range of resources through the concept of a ‘teaching & learning toolkit,’ and this acquisition of Collaborate is another piece to that initiative, joining the acquisition of lecture capture and peer assessment technologies. And, as a by-product of the procurement process, these new tools are also available for more administrative tasks within the University of Toronto (for example, virtual business meetings, candidate interviews, etc.)
An implementation team with representatives from the Centre for Teaching Support & Innovation, Information + Technology Services, and the University of Toronto Libraries will be working with divisions on getting the new webinar solution deployed as quickly as possible, including developing an ongoing support strategy.
More information on this initiative and other related academic technology initiatives will be posted at http://uoft.me/edtech and IT staff will be updated via regular communication channels. Deployment and system queries can be directed to Marco Di Vittorio from CTSI, who will be managing the implementation phase of this project (ati@utoronto.ca), and starting in the new year (2013), individual requests to use the software should be directed to portal.help@utoronto.ca.
