ETHICS: Ethics Training for Health in Indigenous Communities Study

ETHICS aims to strengthen research capacity and increase community involvement in NIH-funded research by developing and validating a culturally-adapted ethical research training that is relevant and accessible to American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) communities. Using a community-engaged approach, this innovative study will address ethical challenges in conducting AIAN-based research by increasing community involvement in research oversight, design, implementation, and dissemination. ETHICS has the potential to increase AIAN participation in federally-funded research through a culturally-adapted online research ethics training and by doing so enhance the responsible conduct of research in Indian Country.
