This paper asks you to evaluate research in terms of both value and ethics. With your ongoing research development in mind (Weeks Two through Four), imagine the following scenario: After some informal discussion, your program director voices two primary concerns: First, with resources scarce, the small return on time and money might not be merited. Second, the research might infringe upon subject rights and confidentiality. Write a persuasive paper (1) describing the potential benefits of applied research for your organization and (2) detailing the rights of study subjects and how those rights would be protected (e.g., in terms of text concepts such as informed consent and privacy, risks and benefits, and justice). Your paper should be approximately two-to-three pages in length and draw on our text for support. Use in-text citations and include a concluding reference list. Submit your paper with the proposal that was built in Weeks Two through Four. The entire document will receive feedback as a rough draft of your final project.
