Office of Research Administration

• The principles of beneficence, justice, and respect for individuals;
  
  
• The rights of patients and the responsibilities of researchers;
  
  
• The inviolable trust of informed consent, freely given by anyone who volunteers to participate in research. Informed consent means:
  • That patients are informed of any reasonably foreseeable risks and benefits of participating in the research activity; and
  • That patients understand that research procedures are not necessarily treatment and, in given instances, may not benefit themselves in any way and may possibly harm them.
• That no coercion whatsoever, financial or otherwise, is used to induce patients to enter into or to remain in a research project; and that patients have complete freedom of choice as to whether to withdraw from a research activity;
  
  
• The central importance of, and adherence to, the procedures mandated by federal human subjects regulations, which prescribe a process by which research protocols are reviewed with attention to safety, ethics, and the protection of human participants;
  
  
• That the potential benefits to the individual and society exceed any known risks before studies involving human subjects research begin;
  
  
• The provision of adequate resources, training, and oversight for, and the creation of, a climate of support and respect for Institutional Review Boards (IRBs), which play a critical role in ensuring the integrity of human subjects research and in the federally-mandated process for monitoring research protections; and
  
  
• Respect for and adherence to other rules, laws, and recognized codes that guide the ethical conduct of research generally. Such rules include those pertaining to conflicts of interest, misconduct, privacy and confidentiality, genetics research, and others.
