responsibilities of researchers, Institutional Review Boards (IRBs),

and institutional officials for the protection of human subjects in

research.  The workshops are open to everyone with an interest in

research involving human persons and those currently serving or about

to begin serving as a member of an IRB.  Issues discussed at these

workshops are relevant to all other Public Health Service agencies.

TITLE:  Basic Training Session - Research Benefits and Risks to

Individuals and Communities:  Legal and Ethical Perspectives



DESCRIPTION:  This conference will explore the legal and ethical

perspectives of social and biomedical research.  Protecting the

individual rights of human research subjects is of prime concern, but

so is protecting the rights of communities of individuals.  This is

especially true for indigenous peoples.  The conference is designed to

be of interest to social and biomedical researchers, IRB members,

students, agency personnel, indigenous peoples, and others interested

in the rights of individuals and communities.  Opportunities for

informal discussion and exchange will supplement the panel and breakout

group format.  Reports from the simultaneous group sessions will be

made.



Participants will learn how regulations and community participation can

protect human subjects in research, explore the notion of protecting

communities from research risks, examine the impact of recent court

rulings on research risks, interact with others interested in research

risk issues, and make recommendations to agency and other personnel.

minorities in clinical trials.  Each day there will be a variety of

speakers from the legislative, regulatory, pharmaceutical, research,
