3 Mission
MHC fosters a research environment that promotes respect for the rights and welfare of individuals recruited for, or participating in, research conducted by or under the auspices of MHC and its subsidiary hospitals. In the review and conduct of research, actions by the Organization will be guided by the principles (i.e., respect for persons, beneficence, and justice) set forth in the Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects of Research (often referred to as the Belmont Report). The actions of Organization will also conform to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. In order to fulfill this policy, the Organization has established a human research protections program (HRPP).
The mission of the HRPP is to:
To safeguard and promote the health and welfare of human research subjects by ensuring that their rights, safety and well-being are protected;
To provide timely and high quality education, review and monitoring of human research projects; and To facilitate excellence in human subjects research.
The MHC HRPP is a multi-tiered program involving the Institutional Official (IO) of Research, Executive Management, McLaren Center for Research and Innovation, the IRB, and investigators and research support staff. It is a system- wide program that ensures the safe and ethical conduct of human research participants by all investigators including physicians, nurses, staff and students.
The HRPP includes mechanisms to:
4
Establish a formal process to monitor, evaluate and continually improve the protection of human research participants.
Dedicate resources sufficient to do so. Exercise oversight of research protection.
Educate investigators and research staff about their ethical responsibility to protect research participants.
When appropriate, intervene in research and respond directly to concerns of research participants.
