Identifying Regulations in Investigator-Initiated Research: OHRP, FDA, and HIPAA |
The purpose of this tool is to provide research staff throughout the WWAMI region with a framework to understand how federal U.S. regulations covered by the Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) apply and impact an investigator-initiated research study. Use this tool with a specific research study. Input the title of the study and institution name below.
This tool does not address state or local laws or institutional policies. It is meant to address broad federal regulations. Use this tool with institution-specific policies and guidance for human subjects research. Results may be useful for planning purposes and to facilitate conversations with the study team and other stakeholders.
This tool consists of 3 pages for each set of regulations. To retain your results from each page:
