The UNC Center for Bioethics facilitates research, education, and consultation on ethical issues in biomedical research.
About us
The mission of the UNC Center for Bioethics is to provide a core facility for collaborative capacity-building in bioethics at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Biomedical research, public health planning, and health care practice all encounter increasingly complicated ethical challenges. We need robust responses to this complexity, and that requires the ability to integrate multiple perspectives in our planning and decision-making. The Center operates on the assumption that the most robust resolutions to bioethical questions in today’s world share five virtues: 1. They have interdisciplinary intellectual roots. 2. They are alive to an issue’s international and cross-cultural dimensions. 3. They are “translational” between theory and practice. 4. They incorporate a diversity of non-academic voices. 5. They are “street smart” about an issue’s social and political context. The Center’s goal is to promote work that displays these virtues, by providing intellectual “lab space” and core resources for local, national, and international faculty and students in pursuit of educational, research, or policy projects in bioethics. Beyond these aims, The Center’s topical scope, theoretical approaches, and research methods are “investigator-initiated,” reflecting the interests and needs of the collaborating scholars, rather than a pre-established thematic agenda.

📢 ICYMI Doug MacKay was the discussant at The National Institutes of Health Ethics Grand Rounds: The Ethics of Randomized Policy Experiments. To watch the Grand Round 👉 https://lnkd.in/gjj-6qhG Lecture Summary: Randomized controlled trials are the gold standard for assessing medical interventions. In contrast, randomized controlled trials are rarely used to assess social and policy interventions. For example, during COVID-19, few experiments were conducted to assess social and policy interventions to address the pandemic. Is this because randomized policy experiments raise greater ethical concern? Or should we be conducting more randomized policy experiments?
