Human Subjects in Research Policy Training

This training will provide an overview of the Human Subjects in Research Policy, outlining the steps for employees at Durham Tech - and those external to the College - to engage in research on campus. 

Purpose: Durham Technical Community College (Durham Tech) encourages and supports the scholarly endeavors of its students and employees, as well as other educational institutions and reputable community organizations. Pursuit of scholarly work and research sometimes involves human subject participation where subjects’ data is collected and analyzed. When research conducted involves human subjects, it is necessary to ensure that the rights and welfare of the subjects are considered and protected; that risks have been considered and minimized; that the potential for benefit has been identified and maximized; that all subjects only volunteer to participate in research after being provided with legally effective informed consent; and that any research is conducted in an ethical manner and in compliance with established standards.
