Human Subject Protection Program

斯坦福大学寻求加强对人类受试者研究的监督，并通过最佳利用信息技术工具来加强对人类受试者的保护。具体地说，研究遵守办公室将：1)开发基础设施/技术，用于对人体受试者协议、安全记录保留和电子协议提交进行计算机跟踪；2)开发协调机构活动的手段，以便批准在多个机构使用的同意书；3)购买设备，以促进内部审查机构的活动，如电话会议和计算机支持。 为了实现这些目标，研究遵守办公室将加强由2002年9月资助的第一个HSREP应用程序资助的电子协议提交系统。与先前的提议一样，还将要求咨询小组在发布之前测试项目的各个组成部分，并确定相应的培训需求。将用于这些改进的研究合规设备将作为大学整体信息技术结构的一部分予以保留。斯坦福大学的服务台资源和报告工具将可用，并将确保将新购置的软件纳入常规信息技术服务。

Stanford University seeks to strengthen its oversight of human subjects research and enhance its protection of human subjects by making optimum use of information technology tools. Specifically, the Research Compliance Office will: 1) Develop infrastructure/technology for computer tracking of human subjects protocols, secure records retention, and electronic protocol submission; 2) Develop means to coordinate the activities of IRBs that allow for the approval of consent forms used in multiple institutions; and 3) Purchase equipment to facilitate IRB activities, such as teleconferencing and computer support. In order to achieve these goals, the Research Compliance Office will enhance the electronic protocol submission system funded by the first HSREP application, funded in September 2002. As with the previous proposal, the advisory team will also be called upon to test various components of the project before release and determine corresponding training needs. The Research Compliance equipment to be used for these enhancements will be maintained as part of the overall IT structure of the University. Stanford's Helpdesk resources and reporting tools will be available and will ensure that the newly acquired software is integrated into the regular information technology offerings.
