Just Released!  New Report on Ensuring Community-Level Research Protections

CCPH is delighted to announce our newest publication, Ensuring Community-Level Research Protections, based on the recent six-part educational conference call series on Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) and Human Research Ethics co-sponsored in partnership with the Tuskegee University National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care. The report is intended as a resource and discussion piece for a wide variety of groups interested in learning about community-level research protections from unique perspectives.

The publication includes:

¨       Introduction and overview of current challenges in community-based participatory research (CBPR) and ethical issues in research

¨       Overview and presentation summaries for each of the six educational conference calls

¨       First-person stories from diverse communities and community-campus partnerships tackling ethical issues in research

¨       What you can do as a community member, IRB administrator/chair/member, or researcher

¨       Call Series themes, implications, and next steps

¨       Extensive list of resources, including publications, organizations and websites

The report can be downloaded for free from the CCPH homepage at http://www.ccph.info. The full collection of audiofiles, Powerpoint presentations, and speaker biographies from the call series can be accessed at http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/irbcalls2.html.
