MRCT Center Project Manager Walker Morrell, Barbara Bierer and colleagues co-authored “When Is a Change Significant? The Update Problem of Apps in Medical and Behavioral Research” in Ethics & Human Research. Digital applications (apps) used in research may be updated while the research is ongoing, potentially necessitating ethics review. The authors argue that the review process should depend on the nature of the change, any potential change in risk or benefit, and consideration of confidentiality and safety.
The MRCT Center – AVAREF virtual training course for Ethics Review of Clinical Research concluded in April 2022. The course included participants from 22 different countries across Africa and was simultaneously translated into French.
Case-based learnings and breakout room discussions were integrated into course lectures to create a stimulating and engaging virtual learning environment. The MRCT Center looks forward to continuing its partnership with the African Vaccine Regulatory Forum (AVAREF) to build regulatory capacity across Africa.

The practice of returning IRR is consistently identified by participants as something that participants not only desire but also expect. Returning IRR demonstrates participant-centricity and respect.
A taskforce was convened during 2021 to update and further develop the MRCT Center’s guidance on Returning Individual Research Results to Participants – these resources and tools are ready to be shared, on a new, easy-to-navigate, dedicated website.
This one-hour webinar will include a review of IRR and its importance, a patient advocate describing her own lived experience with IRR, and a live demonstration of the new tools and website.
