RESEARCH ETHICS VULNERABLE ETHNIC MINORITY

项目摘要

The NIH Revitalization Act of 1993 mandated the inclusion of women and ethnic minorities in NIH clinical research studies. By 1994, NIH had developed a set of guidelines which stated that women and members of minority groups and their subpopulations were to be included in all NIH-supported biomedical and behavioral research projects which involved human participants. There has been an increase in the numbers of non-minorities involved in the collection of data in ethnic minority populations; however, there has been little in the way of training through the development of graduate, professional or continuing education courses emerging to educate researchers about the communities they are entering. The aim of this application is to develop two professional level campus-wide courses focused on human research participation. These courses were designed for graduate students, junior/senior level researchers and community members interested in human participant research and wishing to obtain continuing education credit. The focus of the two courses will be ethics of research participation in: (a) vulnerable populations and (b) special populations (ethnic minorities). While investigators are required to include women and ethnic minorities in federally funded studies, few continuing education, graduate or professional courses have prepared investigators to handle the complex, challenging burdens and responsibilities that arise in conducting research in these populations. Vulnerable populations include children, prisoners, the cognitively impaired, and those who exhibit diminished individual authority through circumstances, disability or illness. These courses will provide opportunities for researchers at all stages of their research careers to explore the ethics and cultural/racial/gender/class norms of research elements.

1993年的《 NIH振兴法》规定将妇女和少数民族纳入NIH临床研究。到1994年，NIH制定了一套准则，这些准则指出，妇女和少数群体的成员及其亚群都应包括在所有涉及人类参与者的NIH支持的生物医学和行为研究项目中。在少数民族人口收集数据中涉及的非少数数量的数量有所增加。但是，通过开发研究生，专业或继续教育课程，培训的方式很少，他们正在培养他们进入的社区，以教育研究人员。该应用程序的目的是开发两个专业层次校园的课程，重点是人类研究参与。这些课程是专为研究生，初级/高级研究人员和对人类参与者研究感兴趣的社区成员而设计的，并希望获得继续教育的信用。这两个课程的重点将是研究参与的伦理：（a）脆弱人群和（b）特殊人口（少数民族）。虽然调查人员必须在联邦资助的研究中包括妇女和少数民族，但很少有继续教育，研究生或专业课程已准备好调查人员来处理在这些人群中进行研究的复杂，具有挑战性的负担和责任。脆弱的人群包括儿童，囚犯，认知受损的人以及在情况，残疾或疾病中表现出降低的个人权威的人。这些课程将为研究人员在研究生涯的各个阶段提供机会，以探索研究元素的伦理和文化/种族/性别/阶级规范。
