The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Food and Drug

(IRBs), and institutional officials for the protection of human

subjects in research.  The workshops are open to everyone with an

interest in research involving human subjects.  The meetings should

be of special interest to those persons currently serving or about to

workshops are relevant to all other Public Health Service agencies.

DESCRIPTION:  This conference will provide a forum for participants

to explore issues in human subjects protection in the conduct of

research, including regulations and assurances, research protocols,

uses of special populations, ethical/legal issues in human subjects

research, and conflict of interest.  Participants will learn the

function, responsibilities, and process of an Institutional Review

Board (IRB); how Federal regulations and community participation can

protect human subjects in research; how to maximize the benefits and

minimize the risks from research for individuals and communities; and

how to protect individual rights as well as the rights of

communities, especially those of cultural diversity.

 

Basic training concerning IRB procedures and protocol review will

take place on the afternoon of the first day and conclude on the

second day at noon.  At 1:00 p.m., on the second day, the conference

will re-convene.  Individual presentations, panels, and workshop

sessions will provide maximum opportunity for participants to gain

information and engage in discussions on a wide range of issues

concerning human subjects research.

 

Experts from research, regulatory, pharmaceutical, medical,

legislative, and ethical backgrounds have been assembled to share

their knowledge of the relevant issues.

 

This conference should be of interest to researchers in clinical

medicine and the behavioral and social sciences, IRB members and

coordinators, tribal leaders and other Native Americans, university

and hospital administrators, agency personnel, lawyers, ethicists,

health care practitioners, health care insurers, graduate students,

and others interested in human subject protection issues.
