NIH Protecting Human Research Participants Reflection

Clinical Requirement:

Review the Frequently Asked Questions on Requirements for Education at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) : https://humansubjects.nih.gov/requirement-education Read the detailed document by the NIH:  https://grants.nih.gov/sites/default/files/PHRP_Archived_Course_Materials_English.pdf Reflect on what you learned from the NIH materials about protecting the rights of human research participants. Discuss at least two of the following: Describe the circumstances that influenced the need for a policy to protect human research subjects. Give examples of specific ways human research subjects can be harmed by researchers. Identify three vulnerable populations and the special restrictions associated with human research among these groups. Evaluate the requirements and restrictions. Do you think they are adequate? Why or why not? The Belmont Report summarizes the ethical principles and guidelines for research involving human subjects. Three core principles are identified: respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. Even though these principles are considered equal, prioritize them in order of importance to you. Explain your decisions. Although you are not implementing a change project at this time, and you may not be directly involved in research as part of your professional responsibilities, explain the reasons why it is important for you to know about these rights and protections. Your reflection should be two pages and written in current APA Style.
