VCU Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) Blog

The VCU HRPP is dedicated to facilitating ethically and scientifically sound research through robust review of research projects and through effective education and outreach to the VCU research community.

On October 8, 2020, the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP), on behalf of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), issued an exception determination (as permitted by 45 CFR 46.114(b)(2)(ii)) stating that certain categories of cooperative research supported or conducted by HHS and subject to the 2018 Requirements are not required to comply with the 2018 Requirements’ single IRB mandate. The full text of the determination can be accessed here: https://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/regulations-and-policy/single-irb-exception-determinations/october-2020-exception-determination/index.html

The VCU HRPP will require documentation of any exception to the single IRB requirements to be submitted at the time of IRB submission.  Please contact [email protected] for any questions.
