498 - Policy and Research Workshop. What You Need to Know about the New “Common Rule” (sponsored by COPE)

Session Submission Type: Workshop

Description

The proposed changes to the Common Rule that were recently announced, if implemented as proposed, appear to substantially reduce the amount of oversight that will be required for social and behavioral research. In addition, the proposed changes to the Common Rule will undoubtedly call for changes in the ASA's Code of Ethics. The ASA Code is currently being reviewed by a subcommittee of the ASA’s Committee On Professional Ethics, and in the next year, this subcommittee will propose changes to the ASA Code to update it. In this workshop, a panel consisting of members of the subcommittee, along with experts on the federal regulations and IRB operations, will discuss the implications of the proposed changes to the Common Rule and the ASA Code and the implications they will have for sociological research.
