Problem
The systems for providing oversight for research with humans and animals have many parallels, including:
a) Protocols
b) Committee review of activities
c) Committee make up
d) Articulated ethical principles guiding regulations
e) Voluntary accreditation
f) Investigator training
Task
First consider all the above options, then compare and contrast one element of the system for overseeing research with human subjects with the parallel activity in research with animals. The goal is to think about how the system for oversight of human subjects research has become a model for handling research oversight. What particular elements of this model have been carried from research with humans to research with animals? Were some things modified in transition? How so? Why?
