Research Ethics
 HPTN
has a commitment to ethical research
The
leadership and investigators of the HPTN seek to ensure the inclusion of
ethical practices in the design and conduct of the network's research
studies. This is done by working within the protocol development structure
to ensure necessary ethical attention and review in the development
process of HPTN concepts, protocols and manuscripts. To help
carry out that goal, the network leadership empanelled the Ethics Working
Group (EWG). The EWG
includes experts in the field of human subjects research
ethics and HPTU site staff who serve
as resources to protocol teams, providing practical recommendations and
keeping protocol teams abreast of cutting edge issues. The EWG also
provides guidelines and
strategies for enhancement of ethics capacity at research sites, with
a particular emphasis on the understanding of informed consent by
potential participants.
