Join HHS learning sessions on upcoming changes to the protection of human subjects

Are you interested in research?
Please join us at a learning session focused on how volunteers are protected in research and the possible changes to federal regulations relating to the way research studies are planned and conducted. We value your opinion and we need your input as a member of our research community. Come learn about the regulations, ask questions, and engage in discussions with experts about the rules that govern research studies in the United States.
The goals of these meetings are to:
- Enhance understanding of the NPRM or Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects, which was promulgated as a Common Rule in 1991
- Facilitate a robust exchange of ideas among a broad range of research stakeholders about the proposed changes and their implications
- Promote informed public engagement in the policy making process
