Confused as to whether your proposed study is
considered human subjects research? Looking to obtain a Certificate of
Confidentiality for additional protection of identifiable data from the individuals
participating in your research? Want to take NIH’s free training on the
protection of human subjects? The new NIH Human Subjects website can help! This
site not only provides regulatory guidance and links to human subjects
protection information, but also contains a number of tools and guides to help
investigators and institutions meet federal and HHS/NIH standards for human
subjects research protections. You can apply for certificates of
confidentiality from NIH through this web site, as well. Visit humansubjects.nih.gov to learn more.
