Human Subjects Research Presentation


Presented by Professor Christine Borgman:

Things to look into:

- Privacy enhancing technology (http://www.cdt.org/privacy/pet/)

- Association of Internet Researchers (http://aoir.org/)

- CENS project falls under both IRB and OECD

Questions/Considerations in CENS projects

- Are people informed of the implications of participating in the project.

- IRB might require to wear “you are being recorded” sign.

- How do we relate to IRB if we are only interested in the technology behind the project?

- Need waivers per sub-project.

- Some projects can be pilots where IRB would be irrelevant.

Spring Break Campaigns

- Sasank: Really cool graffiti campaign

- Vids: Google maps of location trace, with timestamp every minute

- Elisa: Keypad inputs estimating how many people are out.

- Jeff: Liquor stores and banks


To do

- Need to implement phone capability to tag GPS location with picture taking.

- Nicolai and August: Organize the spring break campaign.

Sound level campaign

- Delayed a week

- HTTPS uploading trouble

- No location data

- Turn on outside, off inside

- What should the Orientation of the phone be? - Around neck? Only out when recording is happening?

- How much button pressing is okay? - More development time needed to minimize button pressing


Next week

- Privacy protection (starting with GeoPriv to get initial set of concerns)

- Potential IRB speaker
