Description

Scenario
As someone who may be involved with consulting on and implementing research involving human participants, it is important that you understand and demonstrate ethical behavior when working with these participants. Use the Social-Behavioral-Educational (SBE) Basic tutorial from the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) as a basis for your assessment.

You will apply what you learn from the CITI tutorial to the development of a concise review of the historical development, ethical responsibilities, and legal considerations of research studies that involve human participants.

Instructions
For this assessment, you will develop a concise but comprehensive report on what you learned from CITI’s SBE tutorial. While the CITI training should help to form the basis of your assessment, be sure that you are also citing other sources of professional and scholarly evidence in your report. The bullet points below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Be sure that your submission addresses all of them. You may also want to read the Protecting Human Research Participants Scoring Guide to better understand how each grading criterion will be assessed.

Explain the history and importance of human subjects protection.
Support your statements using resources and at least three examples from your readings and the tutorial.
Describe the types of research activities that require the involvement of human subjects.
Describe strategies to minimize potential risks to research participants.
Analyze additional protections needed for federally identified vulnerable populations.

This includes regulatory privacy protections and issues related to informed consent.
Write clearly and logically, with correct use of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and mechanics and correctly format citations using current APA style.
Additional Requirements
Length of submission: 3–5 typed, double-spaced pages, not including the title and reference pages. Your report should be thorough, but concise. No abstract is required for this assessment.
Number of references: Cite a minimum of three sources of scholarly or professional evidence. Resources should be no more than five years old.
