Objectivity and Incentives
What is this about?
Dr Donnelly received an offer to conduct research for an employment-training firm in order to assess the effectiveness of thier job training and placement program. The offer is tied to $125,000 in funding for the purposes of the project, regardless of the results, and a promise of future collaboration if the results demonstrate the efficacy fo the program. The case study asks the questions about potential biases tied to financial and other incentives.
