This National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) Project Grant award, under CFDA program #47.079, will fund a $300,000 study to develop ethical guidelines for research in conflict zones.
The key products and services to be delivered include:
- An analysis of existing ethical practices and challenges for research on human subjects in armed conflict settings
- Documentation of current research practices around data collection, storage, sharing, and security
- Development of best practices for ethical research protocols, including for data management
- Creation of an annotated reading guide and handbook of best practices
- In-person meetings and workshops with researchers and multilateral organizations
The findings from this project are expected to lead to improved ethical protocols for research on armed conflict, better collaboration on data management, and ultimately more policy-relevant research to inform humanitarian assistance in conflict situations.
