Ethics in Research

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Summary

Many institutions face challenges with human research protection (HRP) training for community partners. While some HRPPs offer alternative training, others create barriers to essential community-engaged research.

Area of Science:

Public Health
Research Ethics
Community-Engaged Research

Background:

Engaging community partners in research aims to enhance participant protection.
Community-engaged research teams often encounter difficulties with human research protection (HRP) training requirements.
Human research protection programs (HRPPs) vary in their training mandates for community researchers.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate general HRPP training requirements for community researchers.
To identify the availability and nature of alternative HRP training options.
To understand institutional policies regarding HRP training for community partners.

Main Methods:

A survey was distributed to 163 research institutions funded by the National Institutes of Health's Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program.
Fifty-five CTSA-funded institutions responded to the survey regarding their HRPP training policies.
Data collected focused on HRPP requirements for community researchers versus faculty/staff.

Main Results:

A majority of responding HRPPs (61.8%, 34 out of 55) permit community researchers to complete HRP training distinct from that required for faculty and staff.
Institutional policies on alternative training for community researchers are influenced by various factors.
Some institutions not currently offering alternative training are considering policy revisions.

Conclusions:

The availability of alternative HRP training for community researchers is inconsistent across institutions.
Rigid training requirements without accessible alternatives can significantly impede community-engaged research efforts.
Increased awareness and acceptance of alternative HRP training are crucial for supporting federally funded research.
