Please see http://ringo.ams.sunysb.edu/~rizzo for Rizzo Group Homepage


Instructor Dr. Robert C. Rizzo [631-632-9340, rizzorc -at- gmail (dot) com]
Course No. AMS-532
Location/Time Wed 11:00PM - 11:55PM, Math Tower AMS seminar room (122A, First Floor)
Office Hours Anytime or by appointment, Room 1-111, Dept. of Applied Math & Statistics


GENERAL INFORMATION: GENERAL INFORMATION: In this course, students attend and actively participate in research discussions at weekly Journal Club meetings on topics from the current literature using the skills and knowledge acquired during laboratory rotations (AMS-531), or, if they have already joined a research lab, on topics relevant to their own research projects. In the Spring, a new component is added which is devoted to Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training as mandated by the University and Federal funding agencies (e.g. NIH, NSF, DOE, DOD). Note that Journal Club and Responsible Conduct of Research are required of all PhD and Masters students. Students register for AMS 532 in both the Fall and Spring semesters of the first year and Fall of the second year.

Learning Objectives:

  • (1) Actively participate in Journal Club discussions on Computationally Biology literature.
  • (2) Hone critical reading skills and lead discussions on literature related to Laboratory Rotations (AMS-531).
  • (3) Give oral presentations on specific rotation projects performed during Laboratory Rotations (AMS-531).
  • (4) Gain training in responsible conduct of research (RCR), as mandated by the university and federal funding agencies (e.g. NIH, NSF, DOE, DOD), arranged in the following sections:
    • (i) Course Overview: Fulfilling Responsible Conduct in Research Training
    • (ii) Integrity in Scholarship
    • (iii) Scientific Misconduct
    • (iv) Mentoring
    • (v) Ownership and Authorship
    • (vi) Plagiarism
    • (vii) Data Management
    • (viii) Journalism and Science
    • (ix) Responsible Conduct of Research Involving Human Subjects
    • (x) Responsible Conduct of Research Involving Laboratory Animals


(1) Journal Club: The goal of the "Journal Club" portion of AMS-532 is for students to hone critical reading and analytic skills through group discussion of literature related to lab rotation research programs. Participants take turn being "discussion leader" who informally guides the group through a manuscript for which all Journal Club members will have read in advance of the meeting. Normally, research papers are suggested by the PI of the laboratory hosting the student. An interactive WIKI page is maintained at http://ringo.ams.sunysb.edu/index.php which list papers covered to date in Journal Club along with a Course Schedule listing each week's discussion leader. If a class participant is unable to come to a specific class due to unforseen circumstances they can submit a 1-page max paper summary that includes: (i) What was the primary purpose of the study ? (ii) What aspects of the study do you feel was particularly well described or was compelling ? (iii) What aspects of the study do you feel needs improvement ?


(2) Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR): The first ten Journal Club meetings in the Spring are devoted to training in "Responsible Conduct of Research" arranged in the following sections: (1) Course Overview: Fulfilling Responsible Conduct in Research Training, (2) Integrity in Scholarship, (3) Scientific Misconduct, (4) Mentoring, (5) Ownership and Authorship, (6) Plagiarism, (7) Data Management, (8) Journalism and Science, (9) Responsible Conduct of Research Involving Human Subjects, and (10) Responsible Conduct of Research Involving Laboratory Animals. Prior to each meeting, students will view online lectures by Stony Brook faculty and read additional relevant materials, which often include case studies. The RCR meetings will be run as small group breakout sessions followed by group discussion. To fully fulfill RCR training, students must also complete a relevant RCR module, and achieve a passing grade of at least 80% on subsequent quizzes, within the web-based Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) located at www.citiprogram.org. See Course Schedule at the bottom of the WIKI page ( http://ringo.ams.sunysb.edu/index.php ) for more information including relevant links, topics, and dates for RCR meetings.

Required Syllabi Statements:

The University Senate Undergraduate and Graduate Councils have authorized that the following required statements appear in all teaching syllabi (graduate and undergraduate courses) on the Stony Brook Campus..
