The second is the insufficient resources issue
that there are not enough resources for the current mission
in terms of IRB's that do not work well. You have earnest
people engaged in an inadequate and insufficient review
process. You do not have adequate education of PI's. You
have research that just flat out has not been submitted for
review because somebody does not conceive that he or she is
conducting research. And then you have review systems that
do not work very well. The behavioral sciences I think are
a perfect example.
The third disabling structural -- existing
structural problem is the uneven application and the uneven
jurisdiction both within federal agencies and then beyond
to universities.
I think the most likely answer is a different
governmental status and structure in budget, single
standard, single office, but a single office with some kind
of decentralized or distributed system where you have a
single standard, a single office, but it works in a
distributed way within the agencies along the model that
was just discussed.
I think there are some very fine models to
explore. The Office of Governmental Ethics I think is the
prime model worth exploration.
