Communication With the Public

Shared Oversight Challenges

Plenary XV: Public Trust Is Key to the Future of Biomedical Research

Thursday, December 15, 2022
1:30 PM – 2:45 PM ET
Location: Livestreamed
Livestreaming Session Icon Crossover Thought Leader Series
Public trust underpins the work of both IACUC and IRB committees, and provides the ethical framework under which research is allowed in relation to both clinical (human) and pre-clinical (animal) trials. Traditionally, IRBs and IACUCs have not had to think about how what they do and how they do it impacts public trust. However, growing challenges to the work of these committees is now starting to directly impact research (e.g., struggling to find community representatives; being subject to more stringent oversight; being caught in the cross-hairs of a debate about the appropriate role of science in the current highly polarized world, etc.). Overall, biomedical research is becoming more complex, difficult, and generally slower. There are efforts to improve trust in research, and this session will discuss several initiatives that are working to improve trust in relation to pre-clinical research through improved openness about this work and partnering with communities to undertake research.

Learning Objectives:

  • Highlight the importance of public engagement and diversity in research in terms of both building trust and support
  • Share several examples in both animal and human research where engagement has led to improved trust and diversity
  • Allow time for a dialogue with attendees to allow discussion of issues raised and other examples where trust, support and diversity have been improved
