While there is growing interest in research ethics, and overall, more attention given to these ethical gray-zone practices, a majority of the training materials available to the field (i.e., textbooks, research methods level courses) focus research ethics training on IRB-related matters, such as informed consent, confidentiality, and treatment of participants. When the gray-zone topics related to QRPs are breached in these training materials, they are rarely framed as decision-points that are matters of ethical concern. These teaching materials were created with the goal of providing both researchers and students with more robust and thorough research ethics training.
