27 J. Health Care L. & Pol'y Appendix 1 (2024)

handle is hein.journals/appndx27 and id is 1 raw text is: IMPLEMENTING JUSTICE IN RESEARCH: BEYOND EQUITABLE SELECTION LESLIE E. WOLF, JD, MPH* Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic and the racial reckoning following the murder of George Floyd and too many other Black and Brown people in the summer of 2020 prompted a broader public discussion of the continuing effects of systemic racism and the need for reform. Within the research community, these experiences and conversations forced a reconsideration about what the principle of justice requires and how to achieve more equitable research. This Article will argue that advancing justice in research is the responsibility of the entire research community researchers, IRBs, public and private funders, academic institutions that educate and employ researchers, publishers, and more. The Article will start by reviewing persistent injustices in research and then will turn to how justice has been and should be conceptualized in the research context. Finally, it will consider what steps different stakeholder can take to implement justice in research that can lead to greater health equity. * Ben F. Johnson, Jr. Chair in Law, Distinguished University Professor and Professor of Law, Georgia State University College of Law and School of Public Health. I was honored to present many of the ideas contained in this Article in the Stuart Rome Lecture at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law in March 2023. I thank Diane Hoffmann, Rebecca Hall, and Gehan Girguis with the Law & Health Care Program for making that trip possible and those in the audience whose questions and comments improved my work. This Article also benefitted from the opportunity to present as part of the Stanford Law School's Law and the Biosciences Workshop. I thank Hank Greely, Sarah Polcz, and Shelly Simana for that opportunity to present a version of this paper and also thank the law students and other attendees for their thoughtful feedback. This Article evolved out of work on my grant, Engaging Diversity: Pathways to Bioethics for Minority Students, funded by the Greenwall Foundation, and I thank Pooja Parikh, one of my undergraduate honors students who served as a research assistant, for her early help on this project. 1
