Speaker(s)
This session will examine how academic SBE researchers understand research ethics as it relates to federal regulations governing human subjects research. Empirical data of academic SBE researchers providing expert opinions on federal regulations will be used to demonstrate how academic SBE researchers come to understand and interpret regulatory language into their IRB submissions. During this session, speakers and attendees will:
Learning Objectives:
- Review the literature on academic research ethics, institutional and organizational theory, and theories on occupations and professions
- Explore data that demonstrate how academic SBE researchers understand and interpret the federal regulations
- Discuss how academic SBE researchers view their work and what perspectives, attitudes, and beliefs they bring when submitting IRB applications
