Capacity Building: Award selected to create unique training tool for human subjects research protection requirements
The Healthier Wisconsin Partnership Program released a funding opportunity in June 2014 to support community-academic partnership work to create innovative training methods on the protection of human subjects in community-engaged research. One award was selected for approximately $250,000 to develop a curriculum that community-engaged research teams can customize for specific health topics and populations. The project also aims to address challenges with the requirement for translating research documents like informed consent forms.
The joint leaders of this partnership are Al Castro, MS, BSW, United Community Center program director, and Ryan Spellecy, PhD, associate professor of bioethics and medical humanities and psychiatry and behavioral medicine. The team also features an executive committee of Militza Bonet-Vasquez, MPH, United Community Center research program coordinator, David Nelson, PhD, MS, assistant professor of family and community medicine, and David Clark, PhD, assistant dean for clinical research, professor of psychiatry and behavioral medicine, and director of human research protections. The partnership was developed with extensive input from Charles E. Cady, MD, associate professor of emergency medicine and Milwaukee County EMS assistant director of medical services.
