Webinar Objectives:
- To provide criteria for the review of the Participant Protection Components of a bio-medical research study including: Participant Selection; Participant Reimbursement; Informed Consent Procedures; Vulnerable Populations, Data Privacy and Confidentiality; and Data and Safety Monitoring. These criteria will be covered with the intent of addressing the application of appropriate ethical principles and regulatory criteria for the review and approval of these aspects of a biomedical research study.
Webinar Objectives:
- To highlight special considerations in the review of a bio-medical study including: considerations for studies involving new unregulated investigational interventions, studies involving investigational agents accessed through Health Canada’s Special Access Program as compared to the standard investigational testing regulatory authorization route, and therapeutic misconception from various stakeholder perspectives. These criteria will be covered with the intent of addressing the application of appropriate ethical principles for the review and approval of biomedical research studies impacted by these considerations.
