“Ethics in Research: a scientific lifecycle approach” introduces investigators to the ethical issues that might arise at each step in the research life cycle in this KTDRR hosted webcast. The research life cycle is inspired by Ian Graham’s “Knowledge to Action or KTA cycle”, and depicts the process of both Knowledge Generation and Knowledge Translation, as well as the infinite and iterative feedback between these two processes. Within this framework, the junctures for ethical consideration are presented by Dr. Jaime Flamenbaum along the cycle.
