For the first time in more than 20 years, the Office of Human Research Protections is reviewing the federal regulations governing protection of human subjects. It will be the first substantive change to these regulations since 1991, and the potential impact will affect all individuals who are currently involved in human subject research and those who plan to be in the future.
Overall, this is a much-needed document for the human subject research community. There are a few areas in particular that will be improved by this new legislation, such as regularly updated expedited review categories and improved accountability for research as a whole. However, the majority of the changes provide great concern for investigators, IRBs, institutional officials, potential research subjects, and regulatory compliance administrators, as the revisions will drastically alter the way research is conducted, reviewed, and perceived by the general public.
In this audio conference presentation, our speaker analyzes the newly proposed human subject regulations in the context of their current state, highlighting significant changes and pointing out critical concerns and areas that need further clarification.
