NEW RESOURCES FOR COUNTY INVESTIGATORS
NEW CCBHS GUIDEBOOK
The long-promised new Guidebook for Grants & Research is finally
printed and now available. It contains a great deal of information that
will help you carry out your research and funded projects in the Bureau.
The Guidebook includes a great deal of information about conducting human
research as well as information about institutional policies and procedures.
A "Frequently Asked Questions" section has been added for this edition,
and also a checklist of the forms and materials you need for institutional
approval for various kinds of projects.
The "Guidelines for Research Investigators" section has been expanded
to cover many more issues about protecting human research participants.
As detailed in past issues of this Newsletter, the treatment of research
volunteers has received a great deal of scrutiny from federal regulators
and the press in the past few years. Any investigator doing research with
human participants must be thoroughly versed in both the legal requirements
and the ethical expectations of human research. This book is designed to
help investigators, and the Bureau as a whole, stay out of the pitfalls
that have led to sanctions at other institutions.
Also included in the Guidebook are two source documents for our policies
on protecting human research participants: The Belmont Report was issued
in 1978 by the national commission formed after the scandal of the "Tuskegee
" syphilis study forced a reexamination of our national standards for human
research protection. This document forms the ethical basis for all the
federal regulations we now follow. Unlike those regulations, it is very
readable, and a document which should be read by all investigators doing
human research.
Also in the Guidebook is the Multiple Project Assurance, an agreement
between the Bureau and the federal Office for Protection from Research
Risks. This spells out the procedures and principles we will adhere to
in carrying out human research within the Bureau. In this document the
Bureau pledges that all research we carry out will be held to the same
high standard required for federally funded research, whether or not it
is federally supported.
Two other Bureau-wide research policies are contained in the new Guidebook:
The policy for dealing with allegations of scientific misconduct, and the
policy for disclosing and managing personal financial interests in research
projects. Both of these policies have been described in previous issues
of this Newsletter.
Finally, the Guidebook also contains copies of the forms to be used
to apply for institutional approval of grant applications and of human
research projects. These forms can be photocopied for use, or you may print
them from your computer using the disk version of the forms described below.
Copies of the Guidebook together with the disk containing the forms
will be mailed to subscribers to this Newsletter over the next few weeks.
If you would like to have multiple copies available at your site, call
312-633-4941. You can also pick up copies in Room 603 Durand (637 South
Wood Street call 312-633-7792, or 572-3506 first, to be sure the room is
open). Locations at other Bureau affiliates where you can pick up copies
of the Guidebook will be announced in future Newsletters.
FORMS & GUIDEBOOK ON DISK
You will receive a disk along with your copy of the new Guidebook, containing
the forms needed for institutional approval, in both Microsoft Word and
Wordperfect. You can fill out these forms on your computer and print them
out to make your submission, thus eliminating the need for a typewriter.
The new version of the disk also includes compressed copies of the entire
Guidebook, in both Word and Wordperfect. If you wish, you can install and
uncompress these files on your hard drive, so you will have a complete
copy of the Guidebook in your computer. Instructions for installing the
complete Guidebook are included both in the Guidebook (Section E) and in
a file on the disk call "Readme".
LAST BUT NOT LEAST: A WEB SITE!
The Office for Research Development now has a web site, which contains
all the materials described above and much, much more, including:
The complete Guidebook, with a site for downloading the forms
in either Word or Wordperfect
A Grants Handbook, developed from articles previously published in this
Newsletter
This Newsletter
Downloadable federal application forms (PHS 398, PHS 2590 & SF 424)
in Wordperfect and Word/Excel versions
Advice (and links) for finding funding,
writing grants, grant budgeting, spending grant money, and complying
with regulations
Links to federal agencies including an acronymic guide to DHHS,
Links to relevant federal regulations & guidelines
"Boilerplate" descriptions of Bureau affiliates
A downloadable grant budget worksheet in Wordperfect which emulates
a spreadsheet
For now, you can reach this web site by going to:
http://www.herculeshosting.com/~cookcoun/research.html
A more compact address will be available in the next Newsletter.

RUSH RESEARCH FORUM: ABSTRACTS DUE FEBRUARY 14, 2000
Every year, Cook County researchers constitute a significant portion
of the 300 or so investigators participating in the poster session of Rush
University Research Forum. The high level of participation by Cook County
investigators has been very helpful in developing collaborative relationships
between the two institutions. If you have recently presented a poster at
regional or national meetings, this is a good opportunity to disseminate
your research locally with very little extra effort. Or, if you have some
new and intriguing results to share, this may be a good opportunity.
The Forum will be held on March 27 - 29. This year, the poster session
requires electronic submission of the abstract using a form available in
Microsoft Word.
The submission form can be downloaded at:
http://www.rush.edu/rushforum/abstract_ent.html
The organizers of the conference strongly urge you to use email
submission of the abstract, accomplished by attaching the completed form
to an email message addressed to: resforum@rush.edu
If you cannot submit your abstract via email, send both a hard copy
and a disk copy to:
RUSH FORUM ABSTRACTS
Office of Research Affairs, AF544
Rush Medical College
600 South Paulina
Chicago, IL 60612
The disk you submit will not be returned, so save a copy.
If you have difficulty downloading the submission form, call 633-4940
to get a disk copy.
If you are considering submitting a research project for the Forum,
remember that all human research, including retrospective chart surveys,
case series and case studies must either be approved by the Scientific
Committee (IRB) or have a formal exemption from review by the IRB Chair.
