About the Faculty Guide for Human Subjects Research Training:
With the increased use of online instruction, the Faculty Guide was created to aid instructors using Lean eCORE online courses to teach regulatory and ethical issues in protecting human research participants. The Guide can be used with either of the Human Subjects Research Training courses, HSRT or HSRT SBER.
The Guide provides suggestions for additional readings, topics for classroom discussion, and for student assignments. The readings include influential documents like the Belmont Report principles and reports from the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues. Instructors will also find references to relevant peer-reviewed and lay press articles. The resources in the Faculty Guide enable human subjects research training classes to delve deeper into key ethical issues addressed in our courses.
