The UConn-Storrs Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) is dedicated to the protection of human subjects in research activities conducted under its auspices. The HRPP reviews human subjects research to ensure appropriate safeguards for the ethical, compliant, and safe conduct of research, as well as the protection of the rights and welfare of the human subjects who volunteer to participate. As the regulatory framework for the protections of human subjects is complex and multi-faceted, this session’s goals are to review the regulatory framework and how it applies to research and evaluation, the requirements for consent, when consent can be waived, and how to navigate the IRB process at UConn. This session will also review historical case studies to understand current requirements and how these events still affect populations, policies, and regulations.
