Abstract: This talk will provide an introduction
to the process and principles related to involvement of humans as subjects in
research. Specifically, Dr Kiratli will provide: i) a very brief overview of
the history of human research before regulation and the development of the
guiding principles that remain in use today, ii) detailed presentation of the
three guiding principles, iii) the process of obtaining permission
(specifically at Stanford) for research with humans, and iv) some current and
controversial issues related to human research, with particular attention to
persons with disabilities. The presentation will be primarily didactic but
discussion is encouraged.
