Bioethics and Subject Advocacy Program (BSAP) of the Indiana CTSI:
Innovative research to develop and implement medical breakthroughs often raises complex ethical questions. Frequently there are no simple right or wrong answers, and regulations are absent or murky when applied to innovative methods and approaches.
The Bioethics and Subject Advocacy Program (BSAP) of the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI) works with researchers, trainees, and leadership to support ethical research, effective communication with patients and research participants, and the responsible conduct of research.
BSAP supports translational research on all four campuses of the Indiana CTSI by:
- Free, timely, confidential consults to researchers, administration, and leadership on research ethics and data safety monitoring: Click here to request a consult.
