Research Ethics for All (RE4All) is an accessible online course designed for community research partners with developmental disabilities who collaborate on social and behavioral research. The course introduces how scientific and community-engaged research works, the history and rules that protect people in research, and the roles community partners play on research teams. Learners explore key topics such as recruitment and informed consent, participant safety, privacy and confidentiality, and responding to ethical concerns. The course also emphasizes the rights of community research partners, including authorship, shared decision-making, and respectful collaboration. RE4All equips learners with practical knowledge to participate confidently, ethically, and safely in research partnerships.
Research Ethics for All was made by people with developmental disabilities, disability service providers, researchers, and IRB administrators and members.
Research Ethics for All was funded through a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute® (PCORI®) Eugene Washington PCORI Engagement Award (EASC-IDD-00301. Co-Leads Katherine McDonald and Ariel Schwartz).
