Enhancement of Human Subject Protection Training

该项目的目标是开发和提供一个基于模块的人类受试者保护培训计划，该计划使用五种主要的世界语言（英语，阿拉伯语，中文，法语和西班牙语），与HIRBERT，哈佛大学的IRB电子报告工具相关联。新计划将大学三个IRB为IRB成员，教师和研究人员提供的所有培训课程汇集在一个在线系统中。单元将包括专门用于内部审查委员会成员培训的单位；学生研究入门；以及一系列针对教师和研究人员的模块，包括常见和IRB特定主题。特别关注的将是解决行为和社会科学问题的模块的开发，这是大多数人类受试者保护计划中服务不足的领域。该项目还将包括更多适合哈佛附属医院研究的临床导向模块。该计划的阿拉伯文、中文、法文和西班牙文译本将以纸质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.
