RESEARCH GRANT PARTICIPATION
Current
Title: Ethics Issues in Public Health Containment of Ebola and Other Infectious Outbreaks in Low and
Middle Income Countries
Role: Co-Investigator (10%); Principal Investigators: Nancy Kass, ScD and Jeff Kahn, PhD, MPH
Sponsor: Wellcome Trust
Period: 10/1/15-9/30/16
This project aims to learn from the collective experience of those involved in the containment of past

The major goal of this project is to provide a valuable new tool to support ethical responsibility in deciding
whether and how to offer new drug treatments to populations of patients living with Multi-Drug-Resistant
Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in specific countries or areas. This tool will improve current practice in public
health by enabling decision makers to take explicitly into account both social justice and value for money
in a single analysis. We expect this new tool to be adaptable to other kinds of decisions about public
health policy, as well as decisions about what kinds of health research to fund in the future.
Title: Consensus Guidelines for Central IRBs in the Multicenter Study Setting

department barriers to optimum policy creation, implementation, and enforcement and develop a
guidance document for local health department employers/administrators.

surrogate decision makers and study partners for individuals who are participating in dementia research
and will analyze the ethical issues that arise for these individuals and how they are resolved. Findings
from this project will enable investigators and recruitment coordinators to better understand and discuss
the experience of being in a dementia study with potential study partners using language and descriptions
that reflect actual experience.
Title: Ancillary Care in Community-Based Research: Deciding What to Do
Role: Principal Investigator (25%)
Sponsor: NIAID, NIH
Period: 7/1/10-6/31/14
The objective of the proposed project is to establish an empirically informed normative account of

Title: Testing Modified Approaches to Informed Consent
Sponsor: NIAID, NIH
Role: Co-Investigator; Principal Investigator: Nancy Kass, ScD
Period: 4/1/08 - 5/31/11

trial comparing standard to enhanced informed consent procedures, and (2) determine the feasibility of
conducting such a future trial by piloting study materials and procedures in six ongoing clinical studies of
asthma, COPD, HIV, pulmonary hypertension (PH) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) at the Johns Hopkins
Medical Institutions.
Title: Development of the First Test for Common Cancer Risk in the General Population
Sponsor: Doris Duke Clinical Interfaces Award
Role: Co-Investigator. Principal Investigator: Andrew Feinberg, MD, MPH
Period: 10/01/05-9/30/10
