Education: The Cornerstone of Human Subjects Protection

加州大学戴维斯分校认为，教育是人类受试者保护的基石。只有通过教育，研究人员才能意识到他们的责任，并对涉及人类受试者的研究的道德行为负责。加州大学戴维斯分校致力于开发上级教育计划，通过教授所有研究人员有关伦理问题，IRB流程，特别是知情同意，以及联邦，州和大学法规。 虽然我们目前的教育计划符合当前的国家标准，加州大学戴维斯分校的目标是开发一个最高质量的上级计划。该提案将集中精力通过开发基于网络的教程和研究手册、研讨会、讲习班和专题讨论会、购置设备和教学工具以及IRB成员参加国家级IRB会议来加强我们当前的教育计划。在NIH基金的帮助下，我们建议在国家级顾问的协助下制定增强教育计划。国家一级的顾问将具有IRB竞技场方面的专门知识，并了解国家一级的问题。还将招聘一名专业作家， 协助OHRP教育和培训官员和计算机编程工程师编辑和编写所需的教育材料。 在NIH资金的帮助下开发的教育计划将对加州大学戴维斯分校产生重大影响。有了我们建议开发的仪器，加州大学戴维斯分校的研究人员和研究人员将对他们在进行人类受试者研究方面的责任有更好的理解和了解。加州大学戴维斯分校IRB成员将获得更广泛的知识，不仅是法规，但他们的权力和责任时，采取行动的研究。加州大学戴维斯分校的OHRP工作人员将得到更好的培训，以提供监管和地方政策指导，其各个选区。这将进一步增加对加州大学戴维斯分校人类受试者的保护。

UC Davis believes that education is the cornerstone of human subjects protection. Only through education are researchers made aware of their responsibilities and held accountable for the ethical conduct of research involving human subjects. UC Davis is committed to the development of superior educational programs by teaching all researh personnel about ethical issues, IRB processes, especially informed consent, and Federal, State, and University regulations. Although our current educational program meets current national standards, UC Davis aims to develop a superior program of the highest quality. This proposal will concentrate on enhancing our current educational program with the development of a Web-based tutorial and Research Handbook, Seminars, Workshops and Symposia, the acquisition of equipment and instructional tools and the attendance of IRB members at national level IRB conferences. With the aid of NIH funds, we propose to develop the enhanced educational program with the assistance of a national level consultant. The national level consultant will have expertise in the IRB arena and awareness of issues at the national level. A professional writer will also be recruited to assist the OHRP Education and Training Officer and the Computer Programming Engineer in compiling and writing the desired educational materials. The educational program developed with the assistance of NIH funds will have a significant impact on UC Davis. With the instruments we propose to develop, UC Davis researchers and research personnel will have greater understanding and knowledge of their responsibilities in conducting human subjects research. UC Davis IRB members will gain broader knowledge not only of the regulations but of their authority and responsibility when taking action on studies. UC Davis OHRP staff will be better trained to provide regulatory and local policy guidance to its various constituencies. This will further add to protection of human subjects at UC Davis.
