Abstract Introduction: Considering the importance of observing research ethics in the research process and the importance of teaching it to graduate students, this study was conducted with the aim of designing and validating a professional research ethics curriculum model for graduate students of Iranian higher education centers. Method: This research was conducted in the framework of a mixed approach (qualitative-quantitative) and using conventional content analysis. The statistical population was in the qualitative and quantitative sections of all university professors in Golestan province. In the qualitative section, 14 faculty members were selected by purposive sampling method to reach the level of theoretical saturation. In the quantitative section, 181 people were randomly selected to test the model. The research tool was a structured interview in the qualitative part and a researcher-made questionnaire in the quantitative part. The obtained data were analyzed in the qualitative part using maxqda software and in the quantitative part using pls software. Results: The findings of this study included 166 open source that similar data were combined through comparative analysis and finally 23 subcategories and 12 main categories were presented. The main categories (changing the structure of research, helping the globalization of science and technology, recognizing plagiarism) for necessity, (teaching ethical considerations, improving indicators, information literacy, collaborating with medical sciences) for the target element, (scientific principles, requirements Research ethics (for content) (interactive and non-interactive methods) for the element of teaching-learning methods and (formative and final evaluation) for the element of evaluation were extracted. Conclusion: The model extracted from qualitative data has a good fit with the quantitative data collected from the participants in this study. Therefore, monitoring research activities and getting help from the field of medical sciences to design a student curriculum model can have the greatest effect on observing research ethics.
