As the number of elderly people grows, the interest in research for this population increases. Federal funding is available for research regarding elders' needs, and researchers are recognizing the problems this population incurs. Residents and staff members in long-term care facilities are prime candidates for study subjects, and institutional research review committees, supported by the facilities' administration, are necessary to protect them. This article discusses ways to establish a research review committee and its working processes.
随着老年人数量的增加，针对这一群体的研究兴趣也在上升。联邦资金可用于有关老年人需求的研究，研究人员也逐渐认识到这一群体所面临的问题。长期护理机构中的居民和工作人员是主要的研究对象候选人，而在机构管理层支持下的机构研究审查委员会对于保护他们来说是必不可少的。本文讨论了建立研究审查委员会的方法及其工作流程。
