Proposals should be sent to robots[at]law.miami.edu by Jan. 12, 2012 consisting of : an up to three-page synopsis of the paper or presentation, and the author’s c.v.

Robotics seems increasingly likely to become a transformative technology.

Call for Papers Deadline: The Future of Human Subjects Research Regulation – Cambridge, MA

November 25, 2011

The Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology and Bioethics at Harvard Law School is pleased to announce plans for our annual conference, this year entitled: “The Future of Human Subjects Research Regulation” The one and a half day event will take place Friday, May 18 and Saturday May 19, 2012 at Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

If you are interested in participating please reply to petrie-flom[at]law.harvard.edu as soon as possible, but not later than November 25, 2011, and include a brief, single-paragraph description of your proposal for presentation. Full abstracts will be due by January 6, 2012, and final submissions will be due after Spring Break, closer to the date of the event.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently released an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM), titled “Human Subjects Research Protections: Enhancing Protections for Research Subjects and Reducing Burden, Delay, and Ambiguity for Investigators,” which proposes to substantially amend the Common Rule for the first time in twenty years. This development, as well as attention by the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, suggests we are at a moment when the regulation of human subjects research is ripe for re-thinking. This conference is meant to gather leading experts from the U.S. and across the globe to assist in that endeavor.
