Law Policy and Ethics Core

法律、政策和道德(LPE)核心 LPE核心认识到，艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究可以为政策和法律提供重要证据 改变，即使它是为了这样做的明确目的而进行，并且法律、政策和其他社会 结构是影响个人冒险行为的环境的一部分，因此它们的变化可能是 一项重要的干预战略。它还认识到，艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防研究提出了许多 在追求健全的科学的过程中必须审查和解决的伦理问题。因此，核心的 目的是促进新的发展，并支持正在进行的跨学科研究 以政策、结构、法律或伦理为重点；确保所有与CIRA有关的研究都符合 最高的道德和法律标准；两者都为CIRA的科学家提供关于艾滋病毒相关发展的建议 政策和法律及其研究影响，并确保翻译和传播CIRA的 一般的研究结果和政策制定者。 为支持新的和现有的政策、结构、法律和伦理研究，核心将组织工作 核心相关专题小组；召开小型会议(小型工作会议以确定研究 一个领域的差距，并鼓励新的研究合作来填补这些差距)；准备政策更新， 对新出现的法律、政策或道德问题进行相对简短的批判性分析，这些问题对 CIRA研究；并召开每月会议和年度国际伦理研究研讨会。至 确保CIRA科学达到最高的法律和道德标准，核心将进行咨询 计划，在提交赠款之前和授予赠款之后提供必要的咨询，如 以及在研究过程的任何时候由调查员发起的协商；参与同行审查和 在耶鲁大学人类调查委员会的月度会议上；并准备政策和资源 与人类受试者进行研究有关的。传播和翻译活动将包括 政策监测(及时了解政策关注的领域)，向政策制定者分发核心材料， 并参与YACS@CIRA系列研讨会的策划。 我们预计这些活动将导致CIRA科学和相关出版物的增长，重点是法律、 政策、结构和道德问题。

LAW, POLICY AND ETHICS (LPE) CORE The LPE Core recognizes that HIV/AIDS research can provide important evidence for policy and legal change, even if it is conducted for the express purpose of doing so, and that laws, policies, and other social structures are a part of the context that influences individual risk-taking, and hence changes in them can be an important intervention strategy. It also recognizes that HIV/AIDS prevention research raises numerous ethical issues that must be examined and addressed in the pursuit of sound science. As such, the Core's purposes are to facilitate the development of new and support ongoing interdisciplinary research with a policy, structural, legal or ethics focus; ensure all CIRA affiliated research is conducted in accordance with the highest ethical and legal standards; and both advise CIRA scientists about developments in HIV-related policy and law, and their research implications, and ensure the translation and dissemination of CIRA's research findings generally and to policymakers. In support of new and existing policy, structural, legal and ethics research, the Core will organize working groups on Core-related topics; convene mini-conferences (small working conferences to identify research gaps in an area and encourage new research collaborations to fill those gaps); prepare Policy Updates, relatively brief critical analyses of newly emerging legal, policy, or ethical issues that are of significance for CIRA research; and convene monthly meetings and annual International Ethics Research Workshops. To ensure that CIRA science achieves the highest legal and ethical standards, the Core will run a consultation program, providing required consultations both prior to the submission of grants and after their award, as well as investigator-initiated consultations at any point in the research process; participate in peer review and in monthly meetings of the Human Investigations Committee at Yale; and prepare policies and resources relating to the conduct of research with human subjects. Dissemination and translation activities will include policy monitoring (to stay current on areas of policy concern), distribution of Core materials to policymakers, and participation in the planning of the YACS@CIRA seminar series. We expect these activities to lead to a growth in CIRA science and related publications focused on legal, policy, structural, and ethics issues.
