DETROIT: A university has unveiled proposed changes to the way it protects human subjects in research.
An “implementation team” formed in March — made up of outside experts, University faculty members and administrators — outlined a beefed-up human research subjects protection program to the public after two recent reports criticized how the University conducts research on human enrollees.
The 63 recommendations include hiring more staff for the school’s Institutional Review Board, increasing the number of the board’s review panels and paying review board members. The panel also recommended creating a new position to help educate researchers about ethical research standards.
