Abstract:
Life science and medical research involving human beings cannot be separated from the support of research participants. The safety, health, and rights and interests of research participants are the primary considerations in clinical research, and their rights and interests include the right of compensation, privacy protection, health and so on. Protecting the compensation rights of research participants is a necessary responsibility of the research-related departments and personnel. Based on laws and regulations and literature review, and combined with practical experience, this paper made an in-depth discussion on compensation rights. It puts forward the types of compensation (conventional compensation, research-related damage compensation), compensation principles (necessity, timeliness, appropriateness, fairness), compensation elements (method, amount, plan, consent, notification, and reference of compensation ), compensation under special circumstances (compensation for participants without or with limited informed consent ability and withdraw from the study midway), protection measures of compensation right (sponsor/contract research organizations, research institutions, research management departments, (main) researchers and research teams, ethics (review) committee). The compensation rights should be implemented to protect research participants.
