Disasters, Institutional Review Boards, and Ethical Data Collection

Tuesday, July 11, 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. MDT
Location: Interlocken A

Recent government and academic efforts have addressed the need for—and the challenges with—gaining rapid Institutional Review Board approval for the collection of perishable data. Although some models exist, their uptake in disaster research is limited due to the interdisciplinary nature of disaster research teams, the need to balance data collection with the rights of survivors, and the lack of available templates and tools across organizations. Panelists in this session will grapple with these issues and discuss potential solutions for advancing ethical approaches to disaster research.
