HS IRBs Info Session: Upcoming Changes to Human Subjects Regulations & Policies
November 16, 2017 @ 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm
Revised Common Rule Expected in January 2018
Some revisions to the Common Rule (aka the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects) are expected to go into effect January 19, 2018 and the UW-Madison IRBs are proactively preparing for these changes. The revised Common Rule reduces IRB and other oversight for many research studies involving human subjects that can be classified as minimal risk. Of note, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not issued revised regulations and thus any FDA-regulated research will not be affected by the revisions to the Common Rule. To learn more about these changes, please sign up for one of our upcoming information sessions:
