Enhancement of Human Subject Protection Training

该项目的目标是开发和交付五种主要世界语言(英语、阿拉伯语、中文、法语和西班牙语)的基于模块的人类主体保护培训计划，与哈佛的IRB电子报告工具HIRBERT相关联。这一新计划将该大学三个IRB为成员、教员和研究人员提供的所有培训课程集中在一个在线系统中。模块将包括致力于IRB成员培训的单元；为学生研究人员提供的入门读物；以及为教职员工和研究人员提供的一系列模块，包括共同和IRB特定主题。将特别关注解决行为和社会科学问题的模块的开发，这是大多数人类主体保护计划中服务不足的领域。该计划还将包括更多面向临床的模块，适合哈佛附属医院的研究。该计划的阿拉伯文、中文、法文和西班牙文的翻译将以硬拷贝或电子形式免费提供给当前的国际合作者以及亚洲、非洲和拉丁美洲的非合作者。没有资格获得NIH资助的学院和大学也将免费获得该计划。

The objective of this project is development and delivery of a module-based human subject protection training program in five major world languages (English, Arabic, Chinese, French, and Spanish) linked to HIRBERT, Harvard's IRB Electronic Reporting Tool. The new program brings together in one on-line system all of the training offerings of the University's three IRB's for IRB members, faculty, and research staff. Modules will include units devoted to IRB member training; a primer for student researchers; and a range of modules for faculty and researchers encompassing common and IRB specific topics. Special attention will be directed at development of modules that address behavioral and social science issues, an underserved area in most human subject protection programs. The program will also include more clinically oriented modules appropriate for research at Harvard's affiliated hospitals. Translations of the program into Arabic, Chinese, French, and Spanish will be made available in hard copy or electronically to current international collaborators, as well as non-collaborators in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, at no cost. Access to the program will also be provided, at no cost, to colleges and universities not eligible for NIH funding.
