This day-long course addresses human research protection issues in the design, implementation, and review of research in the psychology and the behavioral sciences. The course provides investigators with a richer understanding of key ethical concepts and the
tools for assessing best ethical practices in the context of psychological research. It also offers guidance on the preparation of protocols and effective communication with Institutional Review Boards (IRBs).
The course is compromised of three major units: understanding key concepts and ethical guidance in human subjects research, putting human research protections into practice in behavioral research, and comprehending the IRB process and the role of review. Participants will examine federal regulations and their underlying principles; ethical standards provided by behavioral science societies (e.g., APA's code of ethics); and core concepts in human subjects protection with particular attention to research in the behavioral sciences.
Participants will have an opportunity for in-depth discussion on key topics during discussion periods and lunch break-out sessions. A workbook of materials and readings is provided. The course is taught by a team of five with expertise in psychology and the behavioral sciences.
