Human Subjects Research Enhancement Collaboration

摘要：该提案要求提供资金，以继续加强大型、多样化的非医学院大学校园的人类受试者保护过程，并将这些发展扩大到两所邻近的公立大学，开展类似的人类受试者研究活动。马里兰州大学帕克分校将继续开发在NIH支持的第一年开始的软件和教育工具，现在将与我们的合作机构分享这些开发成果，并通过我们的合作，启动新的和创造性的程序，以加强人类受试者的保护。资金将用于改善每个校园社区内的教育和推广，为从IRB教职员工到研究生和本科生研究者的所有参与人类受试者研究任何方面的人员实施持续教育程序，通过参与和举办IRB最佳实践研讨会来提高IRB质量，通过组织和澄清每个机构IRB的SOP来提高IRB效率和纪律，建立IRB流程的年度共享、跨机构审查，并促进审查过程的某些方面及其与赞助研究提案跟踪的整合。

Abstract: This proposal requests funds to continue enhancement of the human subject protection process at a large, diverse non-medical school university campus and to expand these developments to two neighboring public universities with similar human subject research activities. The University of Maryland College Park will continue development of software and educational tools begun during the first year of NIH support and will now share these developments with our collaborating institutions and, through our collaborations, initiate new and creative procedures for enhancing human subjects protection. Funds will be used to improve education and outreach within each Campus community, implement a continuous education procedure for all personnel involved in any aspect of human subjects research from IRB faculty and staff members to graduate and undergraduate student investigators, increase IRB quality by participating and hosting workshops on IRB best practices, increase IRB efficiency and discipline by organizing and clarifying the SOPs of each institution's IRB, institute an annual shared, cross-institution review of IRB processes, and facilitate certain aspects of the review process and its integration into sponsored research proposal tracking.
