Human Subjects Research Enhancement Collaboration

摘要：本提案要求资金继续加强大型、多样化的非医学院大学校园的人类受试者保护过程，并将这些发展扩展到邻近的两所具有类似人类受试者研究活动的公立大学。马里兰大学学院公园分校将继续开发软件和教育工具，这些软件和教育工具始于NIH支持的第一年，现在将与我们的合作机构分享这些发展，并通过我们的合作，启动新的和创造性的程序，以加强对人类受试者的保护。资金将用于改善每个校园社区内的教育和外展，对从伦理委员会教职员工到研究生和本科生研究人员参与人类研究的任何方面的所有人员实施持续教育程序，通过参加和主持伦理委员会最佳实践研讨会来提高伦理委员会的质量，通过组织和阐明每个机构的伦理委员会的标准操作规程来提高伦理委员会的效率和纪律，研究所年度共享，IRB过程的跨机构审查，并促进审查过程的某些方面，并将其集成到赞助的研究提案跟踪中。

Abstract: This proposal requests funds to continue enhancement of the human subject protection process at a large, diverse non-medical school university campus and to expand these developments to two neighboring public universities with similar human subject research activities. The University of Maryland College Park will continue development of software and educational tools begun during the first year of NIH support and will now share these developments with our collaborating institutions and, through our collaborations, initiate new and creative procedures for enhancing human subjects protection. Funds will be used to improve education and outreach within each Campus community, implement a continuous education procedure for all personnel involved in any aspect of human subjects research from IRB faculty and staff members to graduate and undergraduate student investigators, increase IRB quality by participating and hosting workshops on IRB best practices, increase IRB efficiency and discipline by organizing and clarifying the SOPs of each institution's IRB, institute an annual shared, cross-institution review of IRB processes, and facilitate certain aspects of the review process and its integration into sponsored research proposal tracking.
