Human Subjects Research Core

摘要：人类受试者研究核心（核心C） 人类受试者的参与对于本计划项目赠款的项目2和项目3至关重要， 涉及广泛的招募程序，对参与者进行初步评估， 许多行为措施，并遵守大学，州和联邦法规 关于在研究中使用人类受试者。这一核心将起到精简和 统一多个项目的这些活动，总体目标是有效地招聘 项目1和项目2实验的大量符合资格的参与者 要求.此外，这个核心将监督人类的发展和维护， 受试者数据库，该数据库将符合HIPAA要求，并可供所有研究者访问， 项目四个具体目标是：1）提高人类受试者的效率， 招聘到子项目，包括少数民族招聘; 2）确保遵守所有问题 围绕人类受试者参与研究; 3）协助研究人员进行初步研究 对参加者进行录取评估，并维持关于安全评估措施数据库 服务器;以及4）协助研究者安排参与者进行心理声学、诱发的 潜力和成像研究。核心被设想为一种机制， 人类受试者在多个项目上的活动，从而使研究人员能够引导他们的 时间和精力投入到构成本计划项目资助的科学实验中。作为 因此，该核心将提高生产力和项目的研究速度， 把人类作为实验对象。

ABSTRACT: HUMAN SUBJECTS RESEARCH CORE (CORE C) Participation of human subjects is essential to Projects 2 and 3 of this Program Project grant, and involves extensive recruitment procedures, initial intake assessment of participants on numerous behavioral measures, and compliance with university, state, and federal regulations concerning the use of human subjects in research. This Core will function to streamline and unify these activities for multiple projects, with the overall objective of efficiently recruiting a large number of participants for Project 1 and Project 2 experiments who meet eligibility requirements. In addition, this Core will oversee the development and maintenance of a human subjects database, which will be HIPAA compliant and accessible to all investigators in the project. The four specific aims are: 1) Increase efficiency with which human subjects are recruited to the subprojects, including minority recruitment; 2) Ensure compliance with all issues surrounding the participation of human subjects in research; 3) Assist investigators in initial intake assessment of participants and maintain database of assessment measures on secure server; and 4) Assist investigators in scheduling participants for psychoacoustic, evoked potentials, and imaging studies. The Core is envisioned as a mechanism to support numerous human subjects activities on multiple projects, and thereby enable investigators to channel their time and effort into the scientific experiments that constitute this Program Project Grant. As a result, this Core will increase both productivity and the pace of research for the projects that involve humans as subjects.
