In this project, the research team will facilitate the development of ethical and responsible research (ER2) instructional prototypes designed to prompt dialogue about ER2 practices in social and computing (sociotechnical) systems for health research. The ER2 instructional prototypes will be developed through a three-phased process that includes: (1) an assessment of existing ER2 training and practices in academic programs that provide training in human computer interaction (HCI) (2) interviews with health researchers who use/study/develop sociotechnical systems, and (3) conducting community co-design workshops. Key contributions will include the ER2 instructional prototypes for use by those designing technologies for use in health research as well as recommendations for educational interventions/strategies that are anchored to stakeholders within a behavioral ecological systems model. This research will be of interest to health researchers, health care providers, and health care users and their families, as well as be used to inform the training of the health care workforce. The project will explore how ethical and responsible research (ER2) is cultivated in academic programs that provide training in HCI at the intersection of health research. The research team will examine and document the current ER2 landscape of HCI and design school programs to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to introducing formal and ad hoc instructional activities to foster respectful sociotechnical systems design applied to health research. Using a human centered design process, the research aims to increase awareness of ER2 practices and related social responsibilities that occur throughout the day-to-day cycle of health research. First, activities related to Phases 1-2 will generate academic contributions that include data from a systematic review of relevant literature and prospective interviews to examine ER2 attitudes and practices among and within human computer interaction and interdisciplinary design programs. These programs are targeted as these settings are where sociotechnical systems are being conceptualized and developed for use in health research and healthcare. Second, by creating a map of the existing ER2 training landscape, using an ecological framework, the research team will document how ER2 training is applied in practice (e.g., designing databases, creating hooks into the data, developing data visualization dashboards). This will shape strategies for implementation of an ER2 Toolkit for sociotechnical health systems research. Third, the instructional prototypes developed through the community co-design process outlined in Phase 3 will contribute definitions and examples to a "design space" for tools to promote ER2 training and practice in HCI educational programs. In terms of broader impacts, the research will develop instructional tools and recommendations for ethics educators and the larger sociotechnical health systems research community that are anchored to the behavioral ecological systems model. A long-term impact of this research is to promote dialogue among health researchers about the ethical, legal, and social implications associated with the (mis)use of sociotechnical systems in research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在这个项目中，研究小组将促进开发伦理和负责任的研究(ER2)教学原型，旨在促进关于社会和卫生研究计算(社会技术)系统中的ER2做法的对话。ER2的教学原型将通过三个阶段的过程来开发，其中包括：(1)评估现有的ER2培训和提供人机交互(HCI)培训的学术项目中的实践；(2)采访使用/研究/开发社会技术系统的卫生研究人员；以及(3)举办社区合作设计研讨会。主要贡献将包括ER2教学原型，供那些设计用于卫生研究的技术的人使用，以及针对行为生态系统模型中的利益攸关方的教育干预/战略建议。这项研究将引起卫生研究人员、卫生保健提供者、卫生保健使用者及其家人的兴趣，并将用于为卫生保健工作人员的培训提供信息。该项目将探索如何在学术项目中培养伦理和负责任的研究(ER2)，这些项目在卫生研究的交叉点提供人机交互培训。研究小组将检查和记录当前的人机界面ER2环境，并设计学校计划，以确定引入正式和临时教学活动的优势、劣势、机会和威胁，以促进应用于卫生研究的尊重的社会技术系统设计。利用以人为中心的设计过程，这项研究旨在提高人们对ER2实践和相关社会责任的认识，这些实践发生在卫生研究的日常周期中。首先，与阶段1-2相关的活动将产生学术贡献，包括来自相关文献的系统回顾和前瞻性访谈的数据，以检查人机交互和跨学科设计项目之间和内部的ER2态度和实践。这些方案是有针对性的，因为这些环境是社会技术系统被概念化和开发用于卫生研究和医疗保健的地方。第二，研究小组将利用生态框架绘制现有ER2培训环境地图，记录ER2培训是如何在实践中应用的(例如，设计数据库、创建数据挂钩、开发数据可视化仪表板)。这将形成实施社会技术卫生系统研究的ER2工具包的战略。第三，通过第三阶段概述的社区共同设计过程开发的教学原型将为在人机界面教育方案中促进ER2培训和实践的工具提供一个“设计空间”。就更广泛的影响而言，这项研究将为伦理教育工作者和更大的社会技术卫生系统研究社区开发基于行为生态系统模型的教学工具和建议。这项研究的长期影响是促进卫生研究人员之间就研究中(不当)使用社会技术系统相关的伦理、法律和社会影响进行对话。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
