Dr. Deuschle was Chairman of the Subcommittee on Ethical Research Practices of the Research Administrative Committee (RAC) from its inception in 1983 until 1988. A major task of this group was initially to write institutional guidelines for misconduct in research. Comments were solicited from other institutions and many drafts were created. Those appear in Box 19. SERP also served as a general Ethics Committee and investigated instances of alleged fraud and misconduct. These files (Box 20) are closed to research.
