MRCT Center Senior Advisors, Luke Gelinas and David Strauss, MRCT Center Faculty Director, Barbara E. Bierer, and others co-authored, “IRBs and the Protection-Inclusion Dilemma: Finding a Balance,” published in The American Journal of Bioethics. The authors address the tension that Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) face “in aiming to both protect potential research participants from harm and include under-represented populations in research” and offer recommendations to support IRB decision-making.
