Waisman Center Research Ethics Series
Spring 2006 Seminars

 

Date: Monday, February 6th

Time: Noon to 1:30

Title:  Responding to unexpected situations in research settings.

Faculty moderators: Richie Davidson, Katie Hustad
Student moderators: Andrea Mcduffie, Catherine Norriss, Kelly Kovac

Our panel will lead a discussion about how researchers can think about and deal with discovery of unexpected issues/findings that emerge in the course of a research study (e.g., discovering that an infant may be deaf in the course of a perceptual study, abnormal findings in a brain imaging study, a child reporting previously undisclosed emotional concerns in an interview, learning that a participant may not be receiving “best practices” care, etc). What is the responsibility of the researcher in these different kinds of situations? What procedures should students have in place before beginning a study?

Where:  Ziemann A, 8th Floor, South Tower

Readings:  Ethical and practical considerations in managing incidental findings in functional magnetic resonance imaging.

Discovery and Disclosure of Incidental Findings in Neuroimaging Research

Ethical Consideration of Incidental Findings on Adult Brain MRI In Research

Subjects Expectations in Neuroimaging Research

 

About the Series:
The Waisman Center is sponsoring this series of didactic seminars for graduate and post-doctoral students. Each month, distinguished faculty researchers will present some issues for consideration, and then with the help of pre- and post-doctoral students who hold fellowships on various NIH-training grants, will generate discussion on a variety of ethical issues.

Each session will last 90 minutes. Participants are invited to bring a brownbag lunch, and the Waisman Center will provide coffee and cookies. Please contact Lisa Nanstad if you plan to attend so that we can ensure that the room will accommodate everyone comfortably.

For Further Information: please contact the Waisman Graduate Training Coordinators Seth Pollak spollak@wisc.edu, Jenny Saffran jsaffran@wisc.edu
 

The Waisman Center Research Ethics Series is partially
funded by the NIH grant P30 HD03352.
