Human Subject Research Enhancement Program

这一援助申请扩展和加强了我们去年收到的持续的S07 年该应用程序的主要推动力，而不是主要的技术增强 IRB流程的重点是主要研究者，解决了IRB审查的简化、专家组成员的教育以及与其他机构共享信息和流程的问题。我们确定了以下具体目标： 1.加强远程IRB研究中心之间关于多中心项目和大学的沟通 明尼苏达州的项目。 2.开发基于网络的教育和决策模块，以协助IRB与明尼苏达州主要文科院校的同事合作，审查人类受试者研究的社会和行为方面，以及医学和行为研究之间交叉对IRB有问题的医疗机构。 3.扩展ORI最近在“RCR资源开发计划”中的赠款目标， 利益冲突领域为IRB或“冲突管理委员会”成员开发工具， 多个机构，以更好地解决冲突管理的情况下，在个人和 和体制层面。 4.继续加强电子系统，目标是继续开发电子方案提交（表格）和审查，并最终共享我们正在明尼苏达大学开发的SmartForms系统。

This application for assistance extends and enhances the continuing S07 that we received last year. The major thrust for this application, rather than being primarily technology enhancement of IRB processes focused on the Principal Investigator, addresses streamlining of IRB review, and education of panel members and incorporating sharing of information and processes with other institutions. We have identified the following Specific Aims: 1.Enhance communication among remote IRB sites on multi-center projects and on University of Minnesota projects. 2.Develop web based education and decision making modules to assist IRBs in reviewing the social and behavioral aspects of research with human subjects in cooperation with colleagues at predominantly liberal arts colleges in Minnesota and in the medical institutions where crossover between medical and behavioral research is problematic for IRBs. 3.Expand on goals of a recent grant from ORI in the "RCR Resource Development Program" on Conflict of Interest area to develop tools for IRB or "Conflict Management Committee" members, in multiple institutions, to better address scenarios for conflict management at both the individual and institutional levels. 4.Continue electronic system enhancements with the goal of continued development of electronic protocol submissions (forms) and reviews, and, eventually, sharing of the SmartForms system that we are developing at the University of Minnesota.
