CLRES 2050 - ETHICS & RESPONSIBLE CONDUCT OF RESEARCH (ONLINE)

Minimum Credits: 1
Maximum Credits: 1
It's far too easy to relegate egregious ethical violations to the past. We reassure ourselves these could never happen now. After all, we have IRBs and rules and regulations we have to follow when conducting research on human subjects and animals. IRBs, and those rules and regulations, like the Belmont Report and the Declaration of Helsinki, are important, helpful, and a good start, but researchers need more. Many of the problems researchers will face during their careers will not be black and white, and it's really important to learn to navigate through the shades of gray. In this fully online course, we will read important foundational texts and a work of fiction, and we'll engage with case studies. You'll interact with fellow course participants on discussion boards, and submit written answers to questions taken from the readings. This course presents an in-depth examination of ethical issues in the conduct of clinical research. Topics include issues related to privacy, confidentiality, protection of human and animal subjects, informed consent and the role of the IRB in ensuring the responsible conduct of research.
