Speaker: Karen Hale, Associate Director-Human Research Protection Program
Title: Human Subject Research - Righteous!
Summary:
When is someone a “human subject”? What rights do human subjects have, and who is responsible for protecting those rights? Did you know that there are federal regulations (and University policies) that govern human subjects research? You should know the answers to these questions if you think you might perform or participate in research. Come learn about the history and “mystery” of human subjects research. University resources for researchers and research participants will also be presented.
