This $300,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports the development of a guide for ethical and effective practices in statistical graphics. The project aims to expand the educational framework for ethical scientific conduct to include guidance on creating transparent, honest, and mindful data visualizations.
Through interviews with practitioners and ethicists, as well as laboratory studies to empirically validate proposed guidelines, the investigators at Northeastern University will create a comprehensive guide for ethical statistical graphics. This guide will then be deployed in classrooms, workshops, and online to train the next generation of scientists on effectively and responsibly communicating their research findings. The project also provides opportunities for graduate students to participate in the development and testing of these guidelines.
