The Dept. of Health and Human Services has revised the Common Rule which governs the protection of human research subjects for all federally funded (and much non-federally funded) research in the United States of America. Because of this change the HARP-IRB system will be updated to meet the new requirements. These alterations are currently underway and we anticipate having them in place and working well by February 1, 2019. The Revised Common Rule itself will be operational as of January 20, 2019. From January 18 to February 1, 209 the HARP IRB system will be closed to the submission of any new protocols involving human subjects research while we make the change over for the system and test it.
Here are some slides that will help explain the changes.
The HSC is LBNL's IRB and meets typically once a month. The committee is made up of staff scientists and community members and considers any research at LBNL involving humans or human tissues. Federal regulations concerning scientific research using human subjects may be found at DOE Human Subjects regulationson the Office of Human Research Protection.
