HRPP Policies

During 2019 and 2020, NIH is transitioning from Human Subjects Protections Program (HRPP) Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to HRPP policies. These policies are applicable to NIH clinical investigators, non-NIH clinical investigators when relying upon the NIH IRB, to NIH IRB operations, and to the NIH IRB when it is the Reviewing IRB.
