During 2019 and 2020, the NIH Intramural Program (IRP) transitioned from Human Subjects Protections Program (HRPP) Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to HRPP policies. (See General and Structural Changes to the NIH HRPP Policies for more information.) These policies are applicable to NIH clinical investigators, non-NIH clinical investigators when relying upon the NIH IRB, to the Office of IRB Operations (IRBO), and to the NIH IRB when it is the Reviewing IRB. These policies also apply when the NIH IRB is acting as the Public Health Emergency Research Review Board (PHERRB) for the United States. Additional supplemental educational materials are provided below each policy link to aid investigators and research teams with the implementation of these policies.
