IRB Case Studies
These are the case studies. Go under Research tab and the to the IRB Case studies. I do not care which one you use.
Cases in Research Ethics
Risking oneself for another is noble; being tricked into running such a risk is to be abused. The ethical issues in research on human subjects were at the core of the modern bioethics movement at its beginning and they remain vexed today. They have been at the heart of the work of the Yale Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics at least since our fortunate receipt of support from the Donaghue Foundation in 2004.
One part of our work under that grant has been the development of a series of case studies rooted in the work of hospital IRBs in Connecticut. IRB members drafted case narratives reflecting their experience. These were analyzed and discussed with them and our colleagues. Then we have solicited commentaries. The results appear in the cases that follow. We hope that they will be read with profit by IRB members, researchers, and persons otherwise interested in the study of research ethics.
We will eagerly await commentary either on specifics of what the commentators say or on the entire enterprise. We would also be delighted if someone should want to volunteer a case narrative. We can’t guarantee that we’ll use everything submitted, of course, but the field is rich and we’d certainly like a look. Comments either for consideration for publication or just for our information may be submitted to bioethics.center@yale.edu.
