Overview

Research Ethics Workshops about responsibilities and duties of scientists (REWards) is a one-day course in the School of Medicine designed to address key concepts in human subjects protection in specific research communities. REWards combines lectures and small group discussions to provide practical information on the ethical issues involved in research protocol development and implementation.

***Workshops Selection Criterion:

New Principal Investigators are required to attend 2 workshops to fulfill their training requirement (at least one has to be on Human Subjects Research (HSR)).
Fellows needing to complete their in-person HSR training are required to attend 2 workshops to fulfill their training requirement (one on Human Subjects Research (HSR) and one on the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR)).
Recertifying Principal Investigators can attend any workshop to fulfill their in-person course requirement.

Human Subjects Research (HSR) and Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR)

1A, 2A, 3A and 4A count as both HSR and RCR workshops.
1B, 2C, and 3B are HSR workshops.
2B and 4B are RCR workshops.

Objectives

Recognize aspects of study design and conduct that can be ethically problematic including subject recruitment and selection, research-related risks, research modalities, conflicts of interest, privacy, and use of vulnerable populations.
Describe the key concepts in informed consent including respect for autonomy, voluntairiness, decision-making capacity,
Recognize the key concepts in the responsible conduct of research, including data acquisition and management, mentor/trainee responsibilities, publication practices and authorship standards, conflicts of interest and commitment, and scientific misconduct.
