Human and Animal Research Protocol Management System (HARP)
The HARC office has an online database for managing human subjects protocols: the Human/Animal Research Protocol management system, or HARP. Researchers submitting new protocols or wanting to renew or amend already approved protocols must use the new system. If you are on an LBNL computer, and logged into anything (email, calendar, etc.) where you have already typed in your LDAP password, the HARP system can be accessed through our webpage using this link. If you are on a non-LBNL computer, you can get access from offsite either by logging on to your LBNL computer remotely, or through the use of Virtual Private Network (VPN) software, available to LBNL employees from the IT Division website.
For help getting started, try looking at this HARP How-To guidance document. You may call the HARC office at x6005 or send an email to harc@lbl.gov with any questions.
All principle lead investigators and their responsible research staff named in the protocol must have an account on the HARP system. The HARC staff are currently setting up new accounts. Please send us all the information requested in this role and account information document to harc@lbl.gov.
There are several basic types of human subjects protocols. The HARP system will step you through the definitions and submission processes once you enter it.
