The dilemma raises questions of professional ethics, accountability, and the potential consequences of either action. This situation illustrates the complexities of maintaining integrity in research while navigating institutional pressures.

  2. Problem & Dilemma • Case: Joe Doe is writing an application for funding with his Supervisor • He observes that the supervisor is exaggerating the research results • Early experiments show that such results are unlikely to be achieved • He talks to his supervisor, but the supervisor insists on exaggerating to get the grant • Should Joe sign the document or retract his name

  3. Stakeholders • Supervisor – His group gains recognition + Research Grant • Joe Doe – Gets Money for his PhD/research • Funding Agency – Expect promised research results in exchange for funding • Answerable to a higher authority (e.g Government)
