Advancing Equity and Justice in Research

Shared Oversight Challenges

F18 - Situational Vulnerability and Power Dynamics in the Research Sphere

Thursday, December 15, 2022
11:45 AM – 12:45 PM ET
Location: On-Demand
On-Demand Session CPIA Icon Crossover Deep Dive Series
Vulnerability relates to the ability to understand, protect, and advocate for one's own interests. This ability can vary based on social, economic, or cultural context, subjecting many people to risk in different ways across the research sphere. How do relational power and imbalanced power dynamics affect situationally-vulnerable individuals in the research context and what strategies can be used to effectively mitigate these? Potentially vulnerable group dynamics exist between scientists and non-scientists members of an oversight committee, study organizers and subjects, principal investigators and research staff, principal investigators and the Institutional requirements for advancement, and more.

Learning Objectives:

  • Review case study examples related to power dynamics and situational vulnerability (e.g., conducting research in the classroom/workplace/lab, physicians or therapists recruiting clients/patients for research studies, whistleblower and research misconduct reporting, etc.)
  • Recognize other ways in which power and privilege impact the research oversight enterprise (e.g., community member and/or non-scientist dynamics within HRPP/IRB and IACUC committees)
  • Explore how principal investigator influence/pressure can be used to fulfill obligations
