Abstract

This article explores potential frameworks for resolving choice-of-law challenges in multi-state precision medicine research. Through expert workshops involving legal scholars and research ethics specialists, the study identifies key factors relevant to determining which state laws should apply when research spans multiple jurisdictions. Participants emphasized the importance of considering the location of research institutions, participant residence, and the site of potential harm. The discussion also examined potential solutions including federal legislation, model state laws, and centralized databases of relevant statutes. The findings highlight the complexity of legal governance in large-scale biomedical research and propose strategies to improve clarity and consistency in participant protections.
