Description
Summary:"The first ever interdisciplinary handbook in the field, this vital resource offers wide-ranging analysis of health research regulation. The chapters confront gaps between documented law and research in practice, and draw on legal, ethical and social theories about what counts as robust research regulation to make recommendations for future directions. The handbook provides an account and analysis of current regulatory tools - such as consent to participation in research and the anonymisation of data to protection participants' privacy - as well as commentary on the roles of the actors and stakeholders who are involved in human health research and its regulation. Drawing on a range of international examples of research using patient data, tissue and other human materials, the collective contribution of the volume is to explore current challenges in delivering good medical research for the public good and to provide insights on how to design better regulatory approaches. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core"--
Item Description:"This volume represents the culmination of many years of work on the Liminal Spaces project, funded by Wellcome under the official title of Confronting the Liminal Spaces of Health Research Regulation (Grant No. WT103360MA). A Senior Investigator Award in Humanities was granted in 2013 to the Principal Investigator, Graeme Laurie, to run a five-year project ... [including] a symposium that we were able to host in Edinburgh in April 2019. This event allowed authors to present early versions of their chapters for feedback and discussion"--ECIP adknowledgement.
