As the program prepared to release its Controlled Tier dataset containing de-identified genetic data, an urgent need emerged:
While traditional human-subjects research training was available, many researchers viewed these courses as bureaucratic obligations rather than meaningful learning experiences.

Explore the biases, pressures, and systemic factors that have led researchers to make unethical decisions.
Used case studies and interactive decision-making activities to challenge researchers to apply ethical reasoning in real-world research situations.
