PRIM&R Partners
PRIM&R partners help advance ethical research by leveraging our combined strengths. We are proud to bring together stakeholders from like-minded organizations to explore topics relevant to advancing ethical research across disciplines.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML)/Big Data IRB Collaborative Working Group
Recognizing a gap in HRPP/IRB guidance related to AI/ML/Big Data research, we formed a collaborative effort with 14 other institutions and PRIM&R. The group aims to develop guidance for our respective HRPPs, with an emphasis on IRB review processes of AI Tool protocols, which will then be shared widely with other institutions. The Working Group includes subgroups to address various aspects of the challenges posed by research studies proposing to use, develop, validate, or implement an AI-based intervention.
Ethics of Research with Human Subjects in the Digital Age
A PRIM&R and Drexel University Collaboration
An interdisciplinary working group explores the fundamental questions whether the current ethical framework is adequate for protecting human research participants in the digital age and to develop educational resources for the scientific community and the public.
In a rapidly changing landscape in which personal information is routinely collected, analyzed, managed, and shared combined with people’s changing perceptions about privacy of personal information raises questions about the suitability of the prevailing ethical framework for research with human participants – the Belmont Principles.
