The Step 1 Application has been submitted to AAHRPP. Thanks to everyone who provided us with data and support during this process! Now we are waiting on AAHRPP’s review of our policies and materials. During this review AAHRPP may ask for minor changes to our policies or procedures. We will keep you abreast of these changes if they will impact study teams. Once AAHRPP is satisfied that our policies and procedures meet the AAHRPP accreditation standards, we will be invited to submit a Step 2 Application later this year. The site visit will take place approximately 3 months after the Step 2 application is accepted by AAHRPP. We will begin prepping NIH staff selected by AAHRPP to be interviewed during this time period. If you are selected, we hope you will be honored to represent the NIHIRP and the great work it does.
