Over the years, I have attended numerous presentations about research ethics, including sessions that analyze warning letters or present real-life case studies of research misconduct. I have even participated on a research investigation committee for research misconduct. So often, we are looking at what happened, what should have happened, and what resulted in a finding. But often missing from all of the presentations, investigations, or exercises was a detailed analysis of the ethical implications. This presentation will describe the foundational ethical principles of clinical research and their historic context; apply ethical principles to site research operations tasks and responsibilities; and, develop strategies to ensure compliance with ethical principles at the research site. The intent of this presentation will ask learners to directly link ethical principles to the clinical research processes.
