Engaging Institutional Review Boards in Developing a Brief, Community-Responsive Human Subjects Training for Community Partners

摘要

Background: Engaging community partners as co-investigators in community-based participatory research (CBPR) requires certification in the rules, ethics, and principles governing research. Despite developments in making human research protection trainings more convenient and standardized (eg, self-paced Internet modules), time constraints and the structure of the content (which may favor academic audiences) may hinder the training of community partners.
