The Charlie West Case

Educational Resource
Authors:Beabeau, M.J.Pimple, Kenneth
Abstract:

A research ethics case that explores conflicting obligations, plagiarism, and intellectual property. Charlie West, a postdoctoral student, and new father, is struggling to finish a grant application when he finds an old application he helped review a number of years ago. Using some of the background information from this older grant proposal written by another could help Charlie West finish his own grant application on time.
