Human Subjects Research Ethics for Marginalized Communities

讲习班的目的是为高等教育中科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域的边缘化个人开展伦理和负责任的研究提供指导。讲习班包括虚拟部分和混合部分，供教育工作者和研究人员确定代表不足社区的道德和负责任研究的最佳做法。确定高等教育中边缘化个人的研究考虑因素将有助于STEM的研究人员确保为弱势社区实施符合道德的、保密的和适当的研究。研讨会的产品将引起教育工作者、研究人员、学生、管理人员和弱势研究参与者的兴趣。研讨会将主题专家聚集在一起，讨论突出的研究伦理，为教育工作者和研究人员创造资源，并起草涉及STEM中代表性不足群体的伦理和负责任的研究指南。产品将包括一份清单式的考虑资源和一套初始材料，用于STEM高等教育背景下的持续专业发展。该项目包括简要的会前调查、创意生成虚拟研讨会系列、创意合成混合研讨会和创意传播活动。由参与者组成的工作组将专注于路线图的构建和开发材料，以便向适当的受众传播当前的最佳实践，以确保广泛参与STEM。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The workshop aims to provide guidance for conducting ethical and responsible research with marginalized individuals in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields in higher education. The workshop includes both virtual and hybrid components for educators and researchers to identify best practices in the ethical and responsible research for under-represented communities. Identification of research considerations for marginalized individuals in higher education will assist researchers in STEM to ensure implementation of ethical, confidential, and appropriate research for vulnerable communities. Workshop products will be of interest to educators, researchers, students, administrators, and vulnerable research participants.The workshop brings together subject-matter experts to discuss salient research ethics, create resources for educators and researchers, and to draft guidelines for ethical and responsible research involving under-represented groups in STEM. Products will include a checklist-style resource of considerations and an initial set of materials to use in ongoing professional development in STEM higher education contexts. The project include a brief pre-conference survey, idea generation virtual workshop series, an idea synthesis hybrid workshop, and idea propagation activities. Working groups composed of participants will focus on roadmap building and developing materials for dissemination of current best practices to appropriate audiences to ensure broad participation in STEM.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.
