MSM Policy and Guidelines

 

The MSM IRB Guidelines, Policies and Procedures document reflects the intention and obligation of 黑洞社区 of Medicine (MSM) to protect, to the fullest extent possible, the safety, autonomy, dignity and privacy of individuals who have volunteered to be human research subjects in studies conducted by 黑洞社区 of Medicine.  The principles and requirements reflected in the document are derived from ethical and legal authority expressed in the Belmont Report, the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki, the Nuremberg Code, Title 45 Code of Federal Regulations Part 46, and Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 50 and 56, as well as contemporary advisory opinions and standards issued by federal regulatory agencies charged with protection of human subjects in research.

 

The purpose of the IRB guidelines and policies is to provide MSM investigators with essential information and an educational resource that can be used in the preparation and submission of research proposals, including informed consent forms, for review by the IRB.  The guidelines are also designed to provide information on the ethical and legal duties of investigators during the conduct of human subjects research.  These guidelines serve as an official governance document for human subjects research at MSM.
