Indiana University workshop on health research privacy, WPF participant

WPF will participate in an Indiana University /  Triangle Privacy Research Hub workshop on the issue of health research, privacy, and independent oversight boards. The workshop will review a new study on health research regulation, and will cover the spectrum of issues relating to IRBs. The workshop will be held at the Duke University campus, and is by invitation only.

WPF has submitted extensive comments on health research, our most recent comments on the Common Rule can be found here. Health privacy research is an area of vital interest to WPF, as it intersects with student privacy, patient privacy, employment privacy, and many other aspects of ethics, privacy, and regulation.
