The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and 15 other Federal Departments and Agencies have issued final revisions to the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects (the
Common Rule). The revisions are to modernize, strengthen, and make more effective the Federal Policy that was originally promulgated in 1991. Now known as the
Final Rule, it is intended to better protect human subjects involved in research, while facilitating valuable research and reducing burden, delay, and ambiguity for investigators. These revisions are an effort to modernize, simplify, and enhance the current system of oversight. Effective January 21, 2019, all research proposals submitted to the PH IRB for review will be reviewed following the Final Rule. All research approved prior, will continue to follow the Common Rule regulations.
