Research Ethics Forum: Returning Research Results and Incidental Findings: The Challenge of Translational Science


Overview

During this 60-minute forum we discuss how the last decade has seen a revolution in research involving human participants; return of research results and incidental or secondary findings (RoR) is now routinely considered. This session addresses the current state of this transformation, ongoing debates, and the central role of RoR in translational science.
