Webinar: (2020-02) IRB Review of Research Involving Prisoners: Foundational Frameworks and Present Challenges



Prisoners who participate in research are considered a vulnerable population and are afforded additional protections under subpart C of HHS regulations, 45 CFR 46. It’s critical that IRB members understand the historical and ethical basis of the regulations in order to make informed decisions around the challenges and gray areas associated with including individuals who are, or have been, incarcerated in today’s research context. For example, what are the regulatory requirements when a subject becomes incarcerated during the course of the study? Are parolees considered prisoners in the context of research? What types of activities can and cannot be conducted inside a prison, and what requirements and expectations exist around privacy and confidentiality for people who are, or have been, incarcerated? During this webinar, speakers will provide an ethical, regulatory, and historical foundation in order to equip IRB members to address such questions. (Presented on February 20, 2020)
