Education & Training-Biomed & SocioBehavioral Research

位于加尔维斯顿的德克萨斯大学医学分支、位于泰勒的德克萨斯大学健康中心和休斯顿大学-清澈的湖水分校提议合作开发和实施针对生物医学和社会行为科学研究人员的综合教育和培训计划，并建立将机构研究合规性、IRB和其他流程联系起来的工具，以加强对人类研究受试者的全面保护。将有两个部分的教育和培训计划。第一个项目是建立一个基于网络的人类研究保护信息中心，该中心提供历史展望和教育材料以及超链接，旨在提供有关伦理道德的知识基础。 进行人类受试者研究的考虑因素和程序。第二部分将涉及制定和实施一个多方面的、基于网络的教育和培训方案，供三个合作机构使用。为了将机构研究合规性、IRB和其他流程联系起来，有必要实施和利用数据库来跟踪研究方案修改、持续审查和不良事件，还将用于记录合规性问题，并确保研究方案得到遵守。理想情况下，数据库将在协议的整个生命周期中跟踪协议。我们的教育和培训计划的目的是传达以下方面的至关重要性： 对精心设计、符合道德标准和适当进行的人类受试者研究的深刻承诺。所有机构的一个目标是扩大各自的研究计划。在这样做时，有必要提高对人类受试者保护问题、政策和程序的认识。需要扩大对调查人员、管理人员和IRB成员的教育举措。该项目将增强我们各自机构保护人类受试者的资源和知识，并提供教育和培训计划，传达机构对精心设计、道德健全和适当进行的人类受试者研究的态度和理念。

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.
