The MRCT Center commented on the Census Bureau’s proposed American Community Survey Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Test (the ‘Test’) as part of its ongoing American Community Survey Methods Panel Tests. The MRCT Center thanked the Bureau for its commitment to bringing Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) data collection to the foreground. In our response, we asked specific questions about the design of the ‘Test’ and the reliability and privacy of proxy reporting by one household member about the sexual orientation and gender identity of other household members.

The MRCT Center released a series of case studies describing research stakeholder experiences of returning individual results to participants at a recent webinar in May. Given the interest and number of questions we received, we offered three virtual “Digging Deeper” sessions to foster additional discussion and learning about topics that can be challenging to navigate.
This webinar was the third of the three webinars in the Digging Deeper series. Megan Frone of the National Cancer Institute discussed a case about returning genetic/genomic results and secondary findings.
Mark Barnes, co-faculty director of the MRCT Center and Partner at Ropes & Gray, colleagues Minal Caron and Sarah Dohan at Ropes & Gray, and Barbara Bierer addressed the definition of “recklessness” in research misconduct proceedings, reviewing its history and application, and proposing a framework and factors to consider in recklessness determinations.
