Fayetteville Policies and Procedures: New Policy and Revisions
The following Fayetteville Policy and Procedure was recently approved:
- 209.8 Protection of Human Subjects in Research
- The Human Subjects Protection Policy describes the university's compliance with all HHS and FDA regulations, including the 2018 Common Rule, governing human subjects research. It further demonstrates the university's commitment to apply the highest ethical standards, described in the Nuremburg Code and the Belmont Report, to all research involving human participants. The new policy does not impose any new regulatory burdens on researchers; it merely codifies and formalizes practices that we have been following.
