Human Subject Research Enhancement Program

这份援助申请扩展并加强了我们上一次收到的持续S07 年。此应用程序的主要推动力不是主要的技术增强 关于以首席调查员为重点的内部审查委员会程序，涉及简化内部审查委员会的审查，对小组成员进行教育，并纳入与其他机构分享信息和程序的内容。我们确定了以下具体目标： 1.加强多中心项目和哥伦比亚大学远程IRB站点之间的沟通 明尼苏达项目。 2.开发基于网络的教育和决策模块，以协助IRBs与明尼苏达州以文科为主的学院和医疗机构的同事合作，审查与人类受试者研究的社会和行为方面的问题，在这些机构中，医学研究和行为研究之间的交叉对IRBs来说是有问题的。 3.详述ORI在《RCR资源开发计划》中最近拨款的目标。 利益冲突领域为内部审查委员会或“冲突管理委员会”成员开发工具，在 多个机构，以更好地处理两个个人的冲突管理情景 和制度层面。 4.继续改进电子系统，目标是继续开发电子协议提交(表格)和审查，并最终共享我们在明尼苏达大学正在开发的SmartForms系统。

This application for assistance extends and enhances the continuing S07 that we received last year. The major thrust for this application, rather than being primarily technology enhancement of IRB processes focused on the Principal Investigator, addresses streamlining of IRB review, and education of panel members and incorporating sharing of information and processes with other institutions. We have identified the following Specific Aims: 1.Enhance communication among remote IRB sites on multi-center projects and on University of Minnesota projects. 2.Develop web based education and decision making modules to assist IRBs in reviewing the social and behavioral aspects of research with human subjects in cooperation with colleagues at predominantly liberal arts colleges in Minnesota and in the medical institutions where crossover between medical and behavioral research is problematic for IRBs. 3.Expand on goals of a recent grant from ORI in the "RCR Resource Development Program" on Conflict of Interest area to develop tools for IRB or "Conflict Management Committee" members, in multiple institutions, to better address scenarios for conflict management at both the individual and institutional levels. 4.Continue electronic system enhancements with the goal of continued development of electronic protocol submissions (forms) and reviews, and, eventually, sharing of the SmartForms system that we are developing at the University of Minnesota.
