Transmittal Notice
- Explanation of Material Transmitted: Chapters and Appendices within NIH Policy Manual 3014, NIH Human Research Protection Program (HRPP), establish responsibilities and requirements for protecting the rights and safeguarding the welfare of human subjects who participate in research conducted or supported by the Intramural Research Program (IRP) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Office of Human Subjects Research Protections (OHSRP) is the lead office for the NIH HRPP. The OHSRP has updated all applicable policies to adhere to the revised DHHS Common Rule (45 CFR 46). Effective December 2019, the NIH HRPP completed a reorganization and consolidation resulting in the centralization of Institutional Review Board (IRB) operations and transition to a centralized and flexible IRB system. HRPP Policies have been revised to reflect recent regulatory changes, as well as the reorganization and consolidation described above.
NOTE: Please see NIH Policy Manual 3014-100 which describes the structure and components of the NIH HRPP and OHSRP. Taken together with the HRPP Policies, Policy Manual 3014-100 will fully supersede Manual Chapter 3014, dated 5/17/2005. Until the revised policies are fully implemented, the remaining HRPP Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) remain in effect until superseded. The current policies, SOPs, and supplemental information can be found at: https://irbo.nih.gov/confluence/display/ohsrp/Policy.This policy establishes responsibilities and procedures for protecting the rights and safeguarding the welfare of human subjects who participate in research conducted or supported by the Intramural Research Program (IRP) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
