Bioethics, Citizen Science, and Human Subject Protection: Waiting on the World to Change 2021

Wednesday, September 8, 2021, 10:30 AM - Friday, September 10, 2021, 1:30 PM, Zoom



Virtual Conference

The purpose of this program is to provide information to institutional review board (IRB) members, IRB administrators, bioethicists, clinical investigators, research support staff, research sponsors, contract research organizations (CROs), government regulators, and members of the clinical research community about current issues regarding the protection of human subjects participating in clinical research and Citizen Science.

As much as we’d like to be able to meet together again in person, this conference will be virtual until such time that large group gatherings can be conducted safely.  This event will occur on ZOOM.  Connection details will be forthcoming with conference confirmation and reminders.

To help keep the event interactive, we will be incorporating audience participation through live polling throughout the conference and open Q&A at the end of each talk.

Daily Schedule

To accommodate busy schedules, the conference will be spread over three days with two talks each day, spanning 10:30-1:30.

1. Discuss how Rapid IRB review could be incorporated and the inherent challenges
2. Describe the core values of biomedical citizen science
3. Describe how citizen science efforts challenge conventional research norms
