Sponsored research involving human subjects, which may include people who are being interviewed and/or electronically recorded, falls under strict guidelines intended to protect these individuals. Personnel involved in such research need to be informed on how to ensure proper protection of their rights. Proposals that include human research participants must be approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to being submitted. A copy of the IRB Guidebook developed by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is available in the campus OSP. Please click HERE to access the full Code of Federal Regulations text defining Protection of Human Subjects regulations as specified by DHHS.
Many federal agencies involved in sponsoring research involving human subjects, have adopted the same set of regulations, referred to as the "Common Rule." The National Science Foundation (NSF) has put together a very easy to use, and understand, website to help people interpret these regulations. The full text of NSF's policy for the protection of human subjects is listed as 45 CFR Part 690, (note that this citation reads very much like the DHHS text cited earlier; hence the moniker of "Common Rule").
Grant applications made to the National Institute of Health must attest to the fact that all key personnel have been educated in how to ensure proper protection of human subjects. an online course designed to help individuals attain and verify this education can be accessed by clicking HERE.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has declared that all tribal colleges, "...regardless of whether they are part of an Indian Tribal government..." must follow circular A-21, in addition to A-110 and A-133. There is a similar circular, A-87, entitled "Cost Principles for State, Local and Indian Tribal Governments" that does not apply to tribal colleges and universities.
