Increasingly, Tribal Nations are forming ethics review panels, which function separately from institutional review boards (IRBs). The emergence of strong community representation coincides with a widespread effort supported by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and other federal agencies to establish a single IRB for all multi-site research. This article underscores the value of a tribal ethics review board and describes the tribal oversight for the Safe Passage Study-a multi-site, community-based project in the Northern Plains. Our experience demonstrates the benefits of tribal ethics review and makes a strong argument for including tribal oversight in future regulatory guidance for multi-site, community-based research.
部落国家越来越多地组建伦理审查小组，这些小组与机构审查委员会（IRB）分开运作。强大的社区代表的出现，恰逢美国卫生与公众服务部及其他联邦机构支持的一项广泛努力，即针对所有多中心研究设立单一的IRB。本文强调了部落伦理审查委员会的价值，并描述了对“安全通道研究”的部落监督——这是一个位于大平原北部的多中心、基于社区的项目。我们的经验证明了部落伦理审查的益处，并有力地主张在未来针对多中心、基于社区研究的监管指南中纳入部落监督。
