Per federal regulations, institutions engaged in human subjects research are required to have written procedures in place for ensuring prompt reporting of (i) Unanticipated Problems Involving Risk to Subjects or Others, (ii) Serious or Continuing Non-compliance, and (iii) suspension or a termination of IRB approval to the IRB, appropriate institutional officials, and applicable federal agencies.

The OHRE Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) serve to fulfill the requirements of these regulations and to protect the rights, safety, and welfare of research participants.

New Safety Information is reported through IRBIS.
