Bilimsel çalışmaların kamu denetiminde yapılması gerektiği kavramının ortaya çıkmasının dışında, sorumluluk ilkesinin de çağdaş bilimsel yaklaşım içinde özel bir durum taşıdığı kabul edilmektedir. Bu yazıda, ahlaki çatışmalar ortaya çıktığında farklı kurumlar, ulusal ve uluslararası kuruluşlar ve ilaç endüstrisinden sponsorlarca bu bağlamda yerine getirilen rollerin yansıtılması amaçlanmıştır. Denek olarak insanların kullanıldığı araştırmaların karmaşıklığı nedeniyle, bu konudaki tartışmaların bazı sosyal ve endüstriel paydaşları da kapsayacak şekilde genişletilmesi zorunluluğu ortaya çıkmıştır.Bu özel durum farmasötik endüstriyi ilgilendiren problemlerin dışında yeralabilecek olası sponsorları tanımlama ihtiyacını doğurmuştur. Literatürde en çok adı geçen sponsorlar; özellikle yeni ilaçlar, aşılar ve tıbbi ürün ve ekipmanlar geliştirmek için uluslararası araştırmalar yürüten farmasötik endüstrisi; epidemiyolojik çalışmalar ile ihmal edilmiş hastalıklar için ilaç ve aşı geliştirmeye yönelik çalışmalar yapan uluslararası organizasyonlar; bölgesel ve ulusal düzeyde özel sağlık problemleri konusunda çalışan ulusal organizasyonlar ve araştırma alanında kendi politikalarına göre çalışmalar yapan araştırma ve akademi enstitüleridir. Bu derlemede, araştırma protokol sonuçlarının hazırlık, çalışma ve dağıtım basamaklarındaki etik sorumluluğun farklı paydaşlar arasında paylaşılması gerektiği varsayılmaktadır. Bununla beraber, sponsorlar yürütülen çalışmaların bütünlüğünün sağlanmasında gönüllülerin ve daha geniş anlamda toplumun korunması açısından kritik bir role sahiptir

Responsibilities in Research: The Roles of Sponsors

Öz

The principle of responsibility assumed special status in the contemporary scenery besides de emergence of the conception related to necessity of public control of the scientific practice. The aim of this paper was to reflect about the roles carried out by sponsors from different institutions, national and international organizations, and pharmaceutical industries when moral conflicts emerge in this context. The complexity in the daily practice of researches involving human subjects points out the obligation to enlarge the panorama of the discussion on this theme, including several social and institutional partners. In this specific case became necessary to know the potential sponsors, exceeding the question concerning to the pharmaceutical industry. The most frequent sponsors listed in the literature were: the pharmaceutical industry, specially related to international research for development of new drugs, vaccines and medical products and equipments; international organizations in the case of epidemiological studies, drugs and vaccines for neglected diseases and research strengthening capabilities; national organizations working with specific health problems of the countries or regions populations; and research and academic institutions that have their own policies for research. This paper assumes the position that an ethical conduct during the preparation, development and dissemination of a research protocol results need to be shared between different partners. However, the sponsors have a crucial role to maintain the integrity of researches, to guarantee the protection of volunteers and society at large
