[PDF] Preserving Public Trust: Accreditation and Human Research Participant Protection Programs Committee on Assessing the System for Protecting Human Research Subjects, Board on Health Sciences Policy, Institute of Medicine, Institute of Medicine



Amid increasing concern for patient safety and the shutdown of prominent research operations, the need to improve protections for individuals who volunteer to participate in research has become critical. "Preserving Public Trust: Accreditation and Human Research Participant Protection Programs" considers the possible impact of creating an accreditation system to raise the performance of local protection mechanisms. In the United States, the system for human research participant protections has centered on the Institutional Review Board (IRB); however, this report envisions a broader system with multiple functional elements. In this context, two draft sets of accreditation standards are reviewed (authored by Public Responsibility in Medicine and Research and the National Committee for Quality Assurance) for their specific content in core areas, as well as their objectivity and validity as measurement tools. The recommendations in the report support the concept of accreditation as a quality improvement strategy, suggesting that the model should be initially pursued through pilot testing of the proposed accreditation programs.

[PDF] Integrity in Scientific Research Committee on Assessing Integrity in Research Environments, National Research Council, Institute of Medicine

Image
"Many people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character." - Albert Einstein. "Integrity in Scientific Research" attempts to define and describe those elements that encourage individuals involved with scientific research to act with integrity. Recognizing the inconsistency of human behavior, it stresses the important role that research institutions play in providing an integrity-rich environment, citing the need for institutions to provide staff with training and education, policies and procedures, and tools and support systems. It identifies practices that characterize integrity in such areas as peer review and research on human subjects and weighs the strengths and limitations of self-evaluation efforts by these institutions. In addition, it details an approach to promoting integrity during the education of researchers, including how to develop an effective curriculum. Providing a framework for research and education...

[PDF] Uncovering Student Ideas in Physical Science, Volume 3 : Matter and Energy Formative Assessment Probes Page Keeley; Susan Cooper

Image
Have you been wanting to probe your students' thinking about major concepts in matter and energy? Have you been wishing for formative assessment tools in both English and Spanish? Then this is the book you've been waiting for.Like the other 10 books in the bestselling Uncovering Student Ideas in Science series, Uncovering Student Ideas in Physical Science, Volume 3 does the following:* Presents engaging questions, also known as formative assessment probes. The 32 probes in this book are designed to uncover what students know--or think they know--about the concept of matter and particle model of matter; properties of matter; classifying matter, chemical properties, and chemical reactions; and nuclear processes and energy. The probes will help you uncover students' existing beliefs about everything from a particle model of matter to ways of describing energy.* Offers field-tested teacher materials that provide the best answers along with distracters designed to reveal concept...

PDF Finite element methods for engineering sciences: theoretical approach and problem solving techniques Joel Chaskalovic (auth.)

Image
This self-tutorial offers a concise yet thorough grounding in the mathematics necessary for successfully applying FEMs to practical problems in science and engineering. The unique approach first summarizes and outlines the finite-element mathematics in general and then, in the second and major part, formulates problem examples that clearly demonstrate the techniques of functional analysis via numerous and diverse exercises. The solutions of the problems are given directly afterwards. Using this approach, the author motivates and encourages the reader to actively acquire the knowledge of finite- element methods instead of passively absorbing the material, as in most standard textbooks. The enlarged English-language edition, based on the original French, also contains a chapter on the approximation steps derived from the description of nature with differential equations and then applied to the specific model to be used. Furthermore, an introduction to tensor calculus using distribution t...
