AAHRPP Road To Reaccreditation


As recently announced, the AAHRPP reaccreditation process which involves program review and a two-step application, culminating with a site visit assessment is underway. In an effort to ready researchers for the site visit, we will provide frequent guideposts and training regarding the 3 Domains (Institution, IRB, Researchers), 16 Standards, and 62 Elements.

_______________________________________________________

Element 1.4.B.:To enhance the public’s understanding of research, organizations should perform outreach activities. The scope of the outreach activities should be proportional to the size and complexity of the research program.


The ORI Participant Website has a variety of resources to educate the public and potential study volunteers regarding research participation. The site includes links to nationally hosted videos, participant resources, and free education materials. Resources and activities are also hosted by other institutional research sites including the UK Center for Clinical & Translational Science (CCTS), and Markey Cancer Center (MCC).

Accreditation demonstrates UK's commitment to continuous improvement and the

highest ethical standards in conducting human research.

Health & Human Services (HHS) National Research Act 50th Anniversary


July 12, 2024 marks the 50th anniversary of the enactment of the National Research Act which created federal rules to protect human participants in research and led to the establishment of the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research and ethical standards to guide human research. This commemorative event reflects on what happened following the passage of the NRA, showcases the diverse role research participants play in contemporary research, and considers what future scientific advances may mean for research participants and public trust in research.Text Link
