Education & Training-Biomed & SocioBehavioral Research

加尔维斯顿德克萨斯大学医学分部、泰勒德克萨斯大学健康中心和休斯顿大学-清湖分校提议合作开发并实施一项针对生物医学和社会行为科学研究人员的全面教育和培训计划，并建立工具，将机构研究合规、IRB和其他流程联系起来，以加强对人类研究对象的整体保护。教育和培训计划将分为两部分。第一个将涉及发展一个基于网络的人类研究保护信息中心，该中心具有历史前瞻性和教育材料，并提供超链接，旨在提供有关伦理的知识基础

The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, The University of Texas Health Center at Tyler and the University of Houston - Clear Lake propose to collaboratively develop and implement a comprehensive education and training program for biomedical and socio-behavioral science researchers and to establish tools to link areas of institutional research compliance, the IRB and other processes to strengthen the overall protection of human research subjects. There will be two parts to the education and training program. The first will involve development of a web based human research protection information center with a historical prospective and educational material and hyperlinks intended to provide a knowledge base on the ethical considerations and procedures for performing human subject research. The second part will involve development and implementation of a multi-faceted, web-based education and training program that can be utilized by the three collaborating institutions. In order to link areas of institutional research compliance, the IRB and other processes, it will be necessary to implement and utilize databases to track research protocol modifications, continuing review and adverse events, and will also be used to document compliance issues, as well as insure that the research protocol is followed. Ideally, the database will track the protocol through its entire life cycle. Our intent with the education and training program is to convey the critical importance of a profound commitment to carefully designed, ethically sound, and appropriately conducted human subject research studies. A goal of all institutions is to expand their respective research programs. In so doing, it is necessary to increase awareness of human subject protection issues, policies and procedures. Educational initiatives for investigators, administrators and IRB members are in need of expansion. This project will enhance our respective Institutions' resources and knowledge for protecting human subjects and provide an education and training program that conveys the Institutions' attitude and philosophy of profound commitment to carefully designed, ethically sound, and appropriately conducted human subject research.
