Human Subjects Research Seminar: Current Regulations under FDA and HIPAA

This two day seminar will provide the foundation for the application, concepts and theories of clinical research. Within the two days, attendees will learn about the historical evolution of research, current regulations and guidelines including the Common Rule, FDA regulations and HIPAA. We will discuss site and study staff responsibilities in the conduct and reporting of research, types of studies and the regulatory requirements that apply to different study designs. We will discuss a variety of research including genetic, drug, device, and studies that use off-site or community partners. Current examples will be used and the audience will be invited to share their experiences and information.

For those involved in or wanting to be involved in research dealing with human subjects or an individual's private identifiable information, protection of human subjects and all that this topic encompasses is imperative to know as there federal regulations that must be followed. In addition to federal regulations, there are state statues, institutional policies, federal guidance documents, and ethical codes that guide the conduct of the research so that it not only meets the regulatory requirements but so that the study is conducted in an ethical manner containing adequate protections for the individuals who elect to enroll in the research or allow their information to be used for research. Guidelines also provide interpretation of the regulations which are not always as clear as they might appear upon first reading them. Attendance at this two day session will not only provide an introduction or refresher of the regulations, it will also provide attendees with the opportunity to discuss and learn how these regulations, ethical codes and guidance documents get applied in different situations. This information can then be used to help attendees in their day-to-day decision making when confronted with situations or questions regarding how to handle issues that do arise (e.g. a participant not showing for a scheduled appointment, an event that is unexpected occurs, someone who does not speak wishes to enroll in the study, a participate signed an outdated consent document, etc) when conducting human subjects
