The Center for Ethics and Human Values invites you to our first Virtual Panel on research ethics for the Semester:

The Ethics of Data Sharing in Research

​Sept. 1, 2020 12-1 pm via ZOOM

In an era of Big Data and collaborative science, there has been a push for researchers, universities, and health systems to share their data. The massive datasets that result from sharing have the potential to unearth unique insights and make powerful predictions that will positively benefit human health and wellbeing. However, data sharing on a massive scale also introduces new ethical risks – including threats to privacy, challenges for informed consent, the commodification of personal information, and undermining the public trust in research.

In this panel we will discuss these risks as well as the role that universities like Ohio State should play in safeguarding individual rights and in equitably distributing the benefits and burdens of research.
