We fulfill one of the most important parts of our mission by raising public awareness of the vulnerability of human subjects in research. To this end, we:
The information on our web site has important strengths and limitations. We offer information about human research protection to minimize risk to subjects and maximize recognition of the need for improvement. We encourage readers to consult more than one source of quality information.
This information is not medical advice. CIRCARE officers and board members do not offer medical advice. Those CIRCARE officers or board members licensed to practice medicine are not offering you medical advice here. We firmly believe that medical decisions should be made by you and your primary care physician.
Do not make medical decisions based upon what you read here.
We do not provide referrals to physicians or health care providers, although we do offer resources to obtain information about physicians and health care providers, e.g., we provide URLs for state medical and osteopathic licensing boards.
This information is not legal advice. CIRCARE officers and board members do not offer legal advice. Only a licensed attorney can provide you with legal advice. Those CIRCARE officers or board members licensed to practice law are not offering you legal advice here.
We do not participate in link exchange programs. If you think your web site would be of interest to our readers, use the Webmaster
contact link at the foot of any web page to communicate with us.
We do not participate in arrangements to refer people to attorneys so please don't invite us to consider them. Attorneys seeking information on behalf of clients should feel free to contact us.
Our web site also contains opinion and advice based upon the insight and experience of CIRCARE officers and board members as non-professional advocates for the protection of human subjects in research. We believe our opinions are reasoned and responsible in the context in which we offer them. To the extent possible, we explain the basis of our opinions. Our opinions are not facts, and other people may or may not agree with them. For this reason we discourage you from making decisions based only upon what you read here. We make every attempt to distinguish opinion from information.
You should not decide whether or not to enroll in research based only on this or any other single source of information.
