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的提供重要证据， 改变，即使它是为了这样做的明确目的而进行的，法律，政策和其他社会 结构是影响个人风险承担的背景的一部分，因此它们的变化可能是 一个重要的干预策略。它还认识到，艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防研究提出了许多 在追求科学的过程中必须研究和解决的伦理问题。因此，核心的 目的是促进新的发展和支持正在进行的跨学科研究， 政策、结构、法律的或道德重点;确保所有CIRA附属研究按照 最高的道德和法律的标准;两者都向CIRA科学家提供有关艾滋病毒相关发展的建议， 政策和法律，及其研究意义，并确保CIRA的翻译和传播 研究结果一般和政策制定者。 为了支持新的和现有的政策、结构、法律的和伦理研究，核心将组织工作， 召开小型会议（小型工作会议， 一个领域的差距，并鼓励新的研究合作，以填补这些差距）;编写政策更新， 对新出现的法律的、政策或伦理问题进行相对简短的批判性分析，这些问题对以下方面具有重要意义： CIRA研究;并召开月度会议和年度国际道德研究讲习班。到 为了确保CIRA科学达到最高的法律的和道德标准，核心将进行咨询， 计划，提供必要的咨询之前，提交赠款和授予后，作为 以及在研究过程中的任何时候由专家发起的磋商;参与同行评审， 参加耶鲁大学人类调查委员会的每月会议;并准备政策和资源 与人类受试者的研究行为有关。传播和翻译活动将包括 政策监测（了解政策关切领域的最新情况），向决策者分发核心材料， 并参与规划YACS@CIRA系列研讨会。 我们希望这些活动将导致CIRA科学和相关出版物的增长，重点是法律的， 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.
