STANDARDS OF ETHICAL CONDUCT


USDA ETHICS ADVISOR DESK REFERENCE: A Summary of Ethics Laws and Regulations for USDA Employees

SPECIAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE GUIDE FOR COLLABORATORS, EXPERTS, & PANEL MANAGERS
Our goal in providing this guide is to increase awareness of Ethics rules and regulations. Each SGE's commitment to upholding these rules is essential to ensure the propriety of the SGE (Collaborator, Expert, and Panel Manager) program.

ETHICS TRAINING SUPPLEMENT FOR RESEARCH PERSONNEL
A need for a supplemental training manual that would address specific ethical concerns of research personnel was identified. This manual was prepared as a component of a developmental assignment conducted by Dr. Joyce G. Foster during her participation in the Office of Personnel Management's Executive Potential Program.

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ETHICAL FAILURE
Prepared by the Department of Defense - Office of General Counsel, this guide contains real examples of Federal employees who have intentionally or unwittingly violated the Standards of Ethical Conduct & the resulting sanctions taken against them. Many cases could have been avoided completely if the employee had contacted their Ethics Advisor before getting involved in the inappropriate action.
