Protecting Human Subjects
OSRSA has purchased and is making available for viewing an instructional videotape series entitled "Protecting Human Subjects" that is produced by the Office for Human Research Protections of the Department of Health and Human Services. If you are conducting research under the auspices of Life University, or simply have a strong interest in the topic, please click on the links below to view the videos. Contact the Office of Sponsored Research at 770.426.2636 with any questions.
"EVOLVING CONCERN: Protection for Human Subjects" traces the development of today's comprehensive program to protect human subjects of research out of earlier ethical codes and societal concerns. This film selected historic events in behavioral and biomedical research to show why protection is needed and how it came about.
"BALANCING SOCIETY'S MANDATES: Criteria for Protocol Review" depicts an Institutional Review Board (IRB) in action. Dr. Edmund Pellegrino, Director of the Kennedy Institute of Ethics, explains the basis for the criteria that an IRB follows in reviewing research. In commenting on IRB deliberations he points out why the IRB seeks clarification and information from the researcher.
"THE BELMONT REPORT: Basic Ethical Principles and Their Application" describes the basic ethical principles that underlie research involving human subjects; respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. This film illustrates their application in case studies of biomedical and behavioral research and shows the principles at work in the resolution of ethical conflicts.
Suggested Audiences: Researchers, institutional officials, reviewers, students, investigators, IRB members, and staff may also find the material useful.
