Human Subject Research
Research that involves the use of human subjects (through human interaction or through obtaining identifiable data or biospecimens) requires IRB review prior to beginning such a project. The Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) is responsible for the administration of the Institutional 审查 Board (IRB) activities 和 oversight of human research protections activities such as educational 项目 和 post-approval monitoring.
