Moderator(s)
The US human research protections regulations reflect the cultural values and worldviews of some groups in the US, and institutions that conduct research outside of the US may face challenges in applying the US regulations and departmental policies (e.g., Department of Defense) within the local cultures. In this session, speakers will discuss possible strategies for HRPP staff who are tasked with ensuring compliance with US-based human research protections requirements within diverse cultures. During this session, speakers and attendees will:
Learning Objectives:
- Review how US human research protections regulations reflect cultural values of US groups
- Discuss the importance of being sensitive to local culture when conducting human subjects research
- Identify possible strategies to the challenges that arise when applying US-based regulations for research involving subjects from different cultures
