Introduction
2
• Why Research Protocol?• Provision of general information about the project (rationale &
background information, study goals & objectives, methodology, expected outcomes, references etc.)
• Presentation of how to deal with potential ethical and legal issues involved in human research (safety considerations, data management, data analysis, quality assurance, ethical issues, informed consent etc.)
• Major problem in international research projects: Diversity of Human Research Protocol Guiding Principals in the MLS project• US Directives • Canada Tri-Council Policy Ethical conduct for Research involving
Humans• EU Directives, UK Ministry of Defence Ethics• India Military Requirements• Serbia Military Requirements

Research Protocol Requirements |1
3
1) Informed Consent Form (most important):• Informed consent form informs subjects about their rights (e.g. provision
and processing of private information, withdrawing from the study, use of data etc.)
• Standards for collecting and processing electronic information
2) How to implement Human Research Protection:• Identification of country specific, international requirements• Definition of HRP tools (e.g. informed consent forms, implementation of
requirements towards processing personal data etc.)
3) Testing and Evaluation process:• Focus: Measures of effectiveness (utility, usefulness, self-efficacy, accessibility)• Three teams: Data collection, Data Analysis, Human Research Protection• Data collection and analysis:
• data collection methods included questionnaire (demographic information, multiple choice, open text responses) as well as unobtrusive measures (tracking people’s pathways)

4) Focus of analysis:• Utility: What is the effectiveness or practicality of using mobile
technologies for training?• Usefulness: What is the benefit or availability of using mobile devices in
training?• Self-efficacy: Do persons who have used the mobile device believe they
are capable to perform a desired outcome?• Accessibility: What is the degree to which a mobile training application
is available in austere environments to as many role players as possible?
5) Different steps of testing and evaluation process:• Demographic online questionnaire• Open ended questions embedded within the application (How useful
are mobile devices for training? How useful are digital reference materials? Etc.)

Ensuring Protection of Human Subjects in MLS Project
5
1. Definition of country-specific requirements for protection of human subjects (e.g. personal data protection regulation, existing practices and procedures, etc.). Deadline: mid. 2014
2. Definition of overall T&E strategy (metrics, methods for data collection, data processing and analysis etc.). Deadline: end of 2014
3. Consolidation of country-specific requirements for protection of human subjects. Deadline: 3rd quarter of 2014
4. Definition of MLS research protocol strategy (result: technical and procedural specifications). Deadline: end 2014
5. Implementation of research protocol strategy within actual T&E activities of the project. During 2015.
