Join us to learn about a Pitt-IRB approved research ethics training for community partners. CPRET was designed to help principal investigators and research coordinators tailor research ethics training for a specific study and to encourage dialogue with community members who will participate on the research team. This training is particularly relevant for investigators engaged in clinical and translational research involving community stakeholders. Investigators have the opportunity to create and discuss scenarios that may arise in the course of their specific study while ensuring that Core research ethics principles – i.e., autonomy, beneficence, and justice – are defined and reviewed. Particular attention will be paid to reflecting on history and the vital importance of building trustworthiness in research through this CPRET process. (subject matter: collaborative research)
