SciVal Experts Research Profile

Research and Professional Experience

My primary research interest is exploring the local implementation of federal policy relevant to the conduct of human subject research. In particular I am interested in the local review of human subject research and informed consent. On the former, I am currently working on projects related to the ethical quality of IRB review and communication between IRBs and improving the process of informed consent. 

Keywords

Research ethics; health policy; HIV/AIDS policy; civilian bidefense; and qualitative research methods.
