Human Subjects Research Protections at UT Austin

这项申请的目的是申请一年的资金，以加强和扩大德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校已开始的努力，以增加对人体研究的支持。具体目标是：1.加强对德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校教职员工、学生研究人员等重点研究人员的人文学科培训； 2.开发和测试以网络为基础的系统，用于电子提交、审查、核准和管理涉及人类主体的议定书； 3.举办由会员联合主办的为期一天的人体研究会议 BRHRAC和研究联盟以及位于德克萨斯州中部地区的卫生保健机构；以及 4.对人类科目系统进行同行审查，以确定申请的准备情况 申请认证。 最终目的是为了使大学做好准备，以便获得协会的认证 人类研究保护计划的认证(AAHRPP)。建议的活动 在这一应用中包括增强研究人员可用的基于网络的培训， 扩展德克萨斯大学现有人类受试者数据库的功能 并参与了另一所UT组件机构PI认证项目的开发和测试。 这些活动将为德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校对其人类受试者保护计划进行同行审查做好准备，随后将申请AAHRPP的认证。因此， 德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校将为预期的健康研究的显著增长做好准备 在接下来的几年里。

The purpose of this application is to request one year of funding to enhance and extend the currant efforts that UT Austin has begun in increasing the support for research with human subjects. Specific aims are to: 1. Enhance the human subjects training for UT Austin faculty, student researchers, and other key research personnel; 2. Develop and test a web-based system for electronic submission, review, approval, and management of protocols involving human subjects; 3. Conduct a one-day conference on human subjects research jointly sponsored by members of the BRHRAC and the Research Coalition, as well as health care institutions located in the Central Texas region; and 4. Conduct a peer review of the human subjects systems to determine readiness for applying for accreditation. The ultimate aim is to prepare the University for seeking accreditation by the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs (AAHRPP). Activities proposed in this application include enhancing the web-based training available to researchers, extending the capabilities of the current human subjects database available at UT Austin, and sharing in the development and testing of a PI certification program at another UT component institution. These activities will prepare UT Austin for a peer review of its human subjects protection program, followed subsequently by an application for accreditation by AAHRPP. Thus, UT Austin will be prepared for the significant growth in health research that is anticipated over the next few years.
