Background

All research that involves human participants must receive Human Research Ethics Committee approval. The National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research(2007 updated 2018)https://nhmrc.gov.au/about-us/publications/national-statement-ethical-conduct-human-research-2007-updated-2018)provides the basis for this. Information about the process researchers follow at Murdoch to obtain this can be obtained fromhttp://our.murdoch.edu.au/Research-Ethics-and-Integrity/Human-research-ethics/

To do

Obtain and read the following article from ABC Science about the use of 3D printing in medicine:

• Dodds, S. (2015). 3D Printing Raises Ethical Issues in Medicine. Retrieved from:http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2015/02/11/4161675.htm

You will undertake some stakeholder management activities where researchers are planning a research project to trial 3D printing technology to print and implant living bone cells. The participants in the project would be human patients with bone cancer, and the research team would include medical specialists, bioengineers and computer scientists.

1. Identify the project stakeholders

Produce a list of 8 main project stakeholders and provide a brief description of each. Remember that although stakeholders may be both organisations and people, ultimately you must communicate with people. Where possible identify the individual stakeholders (people or roles) who affect (or are affected by) your project (making assumptions as necessary).
