Celebrate the Belmont Report at Belmont

In honor of the anniversaries of America’s 250th birthday and the signing of the National Research Act (July 12, 1974), join OHRP and Howard County, Maryland, for The Belmont Report at Belmont: Where Modern Human Research Protections Were Shaped. This event is free and open to the public and will be held at the historic venue where the Belmont Report was developed in the 1970s.

Date and Time
Sunday, July 12
10am to 12pm ET

Location
Belmont Manor & Historic Park
6555 Belmont Woods Road
Elkridge, MD 21075

The event will feature opening speakers from Howard County, the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, the National Institutes of Health, and the Voices for Our Fathers Legacy Foundation, an organization founded by descendants of the victims of the U.S. Public Health Service Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male at Tuskegee and Macon County, Alabama. Public outrage surrounding this unethical study directly led to the passing of the National Research Act and creation of the Belmont Report. The event will conclude with a facilitated panel discussion with human research protections experts, researchers, and community voices.
