Description
Although bioethicists and institutions have long provided ethics consultations on an individual basis, research ethics consultation is still a relatively new concept (1) as an institutionalized service and has been limited primarily to consultation for clinical researchers. (2) With the recent initiation of the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), (3) most of the 38 CTSA medical institutions are expected to establish some type of formal ethics consultation service designed to facilitate clinical and translational research. As more CTSA awards are made, a rapid increase in the institutionalization and use of research ethics consultation services is likely. Yet while there is increasing recognition of the potential value of such services, (4) little systematic analysis has been conducted on the few programs that currently exist. We present here baseline data covering nearly two years of research ethics consultations at our institution to provide an overview of how the Stanford model has evolved, what consultants have learned, and what direction the service is taking.
