The
purpose of this site is to educate human subject research participants
about:
>>the
research process, and
>>your
rights as a human subject.
The pictures
to the right are links to a video sequence that tells a story of one
student's experience as a human research participant.
Each video
shows different aspects of being involved as a human research subject
accompanied by a list of questions you might ask if you were particpating
in a research project.
By the
end of the story we hope that you'll be familiar with terms like informed
consent and irb.
We also
hope that should you decide to participate in research as a human subject,
you will be able to ask good questions
of the investigators, yourself, and others so that you will have the
best possible experience as a human research participant.
