In this episode of PRIM&R’s podcast, “Research Ethics Reimagined,” we explore a model for community-engaged research in Augusta, Georgia that brings together an Institutional Review Board (IRB), researchers, and a trusted community partner. Host Ivy Tillman speaks with a four-guest panel to discuss how the partnership grew from efforts to address research mistrust rooted in the legacy of the Tuskegee study. Together, they examine why researchers must build relationships with communities long before recruitment, and discuss how sustained collaboration can advance the trustworthiness of the research enterprise. Panelists: Malcolm Bevel, PhD; Tiffany Coleman; Bianca Marsh; and Corey Rogers.
