User Guide for Researchers

The Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues (Bioethics Commission) has developed educational materials for use in traditional and nontraditional educational settings.

The purpose of this guide is to highlight the most relevant materials for researchers in many disciplines to illustrate how they might be integrated into researcher education and training. The Human Subjects Research Investigator Guide provides information specific to human subjects research. This list is not exhaustive; rather, it is meant to serve as a quick reference to some of the most relevant materials.
