When 18-year-old Jesse Gelsinger died in a gene transfer study at
the University of Pennsylvania, the national spotlight focused on
the procedures used to ensure research participants' safety and
their capacity to safeguard the well-being of those who volunteer
for research studies. Responsible Research outlines a three-pronged
approach to ensure the protection of every participant through the
establishment of effective Human Research Participant Protection
Programs (HRPPPs). The approach includes: Improved research review
processes, Recognition and integration of research participants'
contributions to the system, and Vigilant maintenance of HRPPP
performance. Issues addressed in the book include the need for
in-depth, complimentary reviews of science, ethics, and conflict of
interest reviews; desired qualifications for investigators and
reviewers; the process of informed consent; federal and
institutional oversight; and the role of accreditation.
Recommendations for areas of key interest include suggestions for
legislative approaches, compensation for research-related injury,
and the refocusing of the mission of institutional review boards.
Responsible Research will be important to anyone interested in the
issues that are relevant to the practice of using human subjects as
research participants, but especially so to policy makers, research
administrators, investigators, and research sponsors?but also
including volunteers who may agree to serve as research
participants. Table of Contents Front Matter Executive Summary 1
