| Research Abstract |
Research governance has three essential points: compliance, principles, and standards of good practice. Principles include clear aims, research organization, and decision-making processes. Standard operating procedures (SOPs), education for research coordinators, and good communication among researchers are needed for good practices. Most multi-institutional joint longitudinal researchers in Japan follow these guidelines in their individual ways. They also establish committees to determine ethical, legal, and social issues, although institutional review boards and evaluation committees have been established independently. These researchers conduct workshops for research coordinators to understand SOPs well and to avoid risks. Outreach is also conducted as an important act to gain public trust.
