Bioethics IG

The Bioethics Interest Group meets monthly, usually on the first Monday of each month from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. in the conference rooms on the lower level of the Natcher Building (Bldg. 45). Contact Miriam Kelty to be added to the group's e-mail list to receive meeting notices.

Meeting formats vary, with seminars, focused discussion, or a debate. Each meeting features time for exchange of ideas and a Program Brief in which we share information about a specific program at NIH, e.g. short-term training in bioethics, Clinical Center programs, grant initiatives in ethics of research. Members' interests are wide-ranging and include:

  • Issues concerning human subjects (trial design, participation of children, cognitively impaired and demented people, and other defined groups as subjects; privacy and cofidentiality)
  • Reproductive issues
  • Issues in genetics research (stored samples, genetics of behavior, discrimination in health/life insurance/genetic information, consent, testing/screening for single-gene disease, genetic diversity)
  • IRB issues
  • Consent issues, including advance directives for research
  • End-of-life issues
  • Research in managed care organizations
  • Scientific integrity, community standards, and misconduct
  • Other subjects
