Ensuring community-level research protections. Proceedings of the
2007 Educational Conference Call Series on Institutional Review Boards and Ethical Issues in Research
Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) and the Tuskegee University National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care (the Bioethics Center) sponsored an Educational
Conference Call Series on Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) and Ethical Issues in Research that took place between February 2007 and June 2007, which advanced their shared goal of meaningfully involving communities in decisions made about every aspect of research. The call series was intended to increase understanding of the role of IRBs and other mechanisms for assuring that human subjects research is ethical and appropriate ? both at individual and community levels.
