AbstractThe Applied Science Center for Archaeology of the University Museum in Philadelphia is now experimenting with devices that will facilitate the task of precise location and even discovery of cultural strata. The Geohm resistometer and the proton magnetometer are both being used satisfactorily, and further development of a new sonic device has begun. The Center has also been studying new techniques for the determination of trace elements in metals and ceramics, and the thermoluminescence method for dating pottery and other fired objects. In cooperation with the already established radiocarbon laboratory, a project is underway to acquire and date tree samples of very great age. The Center is also gathering and cross-indexing information on completed analyses carried out with the various dating devices and techniques. This information is drawn from both published and unpublished materials.

Animal Use

This paper reports the results of an examination of the 'methods' sections of a range of experimental research papers in biomedical science, focusing on the descriptions of animal use and housing. Detailed descriptions in the methods should enable replication, and also enable readers to judge scientific quality. Relatively few papers sampled gave adequate descriptions of housing conditions and many failed to give details of physiologically relevant variables such as weight of animals. Thirty per cent of papers omitted the number of animals used, and the deaths of animals (whether as part of the protocol, or accidental death) were not always recorded. Adequate reporting of the conditions of animal maintenance and use are important, both in relation to the quality of the science produced, and also because of public concerns about the ethics of animal experiments.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: To outline 4 categories of ethics needs identified at a translational science center. To map how research ethics has been further integrated into the center’s culture in response to these needs. To provide insights into how research ethics can be integrated into the translational team science environment. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The Institute for Translational Sciences (ITS) at the University of Texas Medical Branch is studied on an organizational level using polyphonic organizational theory and the results of an ethics needs assessment completed in 2010. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The results will be a map indicating how research ethics has been further integrated into the culture of the ITS in response to the needs identified to ensure the responsible practice of translational science. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Successful translational science requires shared understanding of communication and values. Achieving agreement in these areas requires the development of strategies for communicating and reinforcing common goals. Research ethics has often been considered an “add on” rather than a “part of” science. Through integrating ethics into various aspects of translational science, the ITS has taken important steps toward achieving the goal of culture change. The map of how the ITS has integrated ethics into organizational activities and structures will serve as a model for other organizations and institutions.
