Columbia Orders Training on Child Research

From the AP:

"Columbia University has ordered new training for faculty members whose research involves children after a federal investigation faulted a program that tested AIDS drugs on foster children.

"The training plan was filed with the federal Office for Human Research Protections, which reported last June that Columbia researchers had failed to obtain and evaluate whether they had proper consent, information and safeguards for the children they worked with in the 1980s and '90s, the investigators said."

Looks like they also need training in ethics.
