The Human Subjects Review Board (HSRB) is the administrative and decision-making body having responsibility for review and approval of research involving human subjects.  Before any research involving human subjects can be initiated it must have received HSRB review and approval.  The activities of the HSRB are administered by the Office of Research Compliance (ORC).

  Want to know what federal agencies and departments have human subjects regulations in place?  Want to access historical documents that have been important in the formulation of human subjects regulations and ethical obligations?  Check out the Office for Human Research Protections' new resource page.
