Protecting Research Participants

The University of Minnesota's Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) has received full reaccreditation by the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs (AAHRPP). The HRPP’s Bootcamp for Research Coordinators, a training program for research staff, was recognized by the AAHRPP as an area of distinction.

The University of Minnesota's Institutional Review Board recently underwent two separate external reviews of its Human Research Protection Program that suggest positive outcomes from recent changes.

Early results from piloting a new way to manage Institutional Review Board submissions shows an improved turnaround time and increased employee engagement.
