The morning session will review the history of research, how abuse has shaped federal regulations governing human subjects research, and current accepted practice. Attendees will then choose one of two afternoon sessions that further explore the professional development needs of Community Members or CRABs. The Community Members session will address questions such as: What, exactly, is a community member? Who do they represent? What are their educational needs? and How can they enhance the work that they do ? The CRABs session will describe the innovative development of a CRAB as a model for building better partnerships between minority communities and research investigators. By the end of this afternoon session, attendees will be able to describe the role and purpose of a CRAB; determine the benefits and challenges of a CRAB; and identify steps in the development of a CRAB. |
