PeaceHealth requires that all investigators
conducting research on humans respect and protect the rights and welfare of
individuals recruited for, and/or participating in, research under the
supervision of PeaceHealth. As part of this commitment, Responsible
Conduct of Research education is required of all investigators, research staff,
and other relevant personnel.
This site has been created to support those
affiliated with PeaceHealth in the conduct of research with human subjects.
The Code of Federal regulations defines Research
as:
A
systematic investigation, including research development, testing
and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge.
[45 CFR 46.102(d)]
and
defines Human Subjects as:
...living
individual(s) about whom an investigator (whether professional or student)
conducting research obtains (1) data through intervention or interaction with
the individual, or (2) identifiable private information. [45 CFR
46.102(f)(1-2)]
The Institutional
Review Board must evaluate all research that is conducted with human subjects,
regardless of funding, to ensure the protection of the rights and welfare of all
research subjects. Research activities included under the federal
definitions are the collection of tissues, blood, genetic material, private
information, and any chart review. No research involving human
subjects conducted under the auspices of PeaceHealth can be done without IRB
approval.
We have
completed a Policy Manual that will serve as a guide to researchers involved in
human subject research. If you have any questions regarding this website
the status of your protocol, or any question involving human subject research
compliance please contact the IRB.
