Human Research Protection Program

Huron Consulting Group’s Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) represents a complete set of tools (Standard Operating Procedures, templates, worksheets, checklists, and databases) designed to help higher education institutions meet regulatory and accreditation requirements, including those of the:

  • Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
  • Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
  • AAHRPP®
  • Department of Energy
  • Department of Education
  • Department of Defense
  • Department of Justice
  • Environmental Protection Agency
  • Veterans Administration
  • International Council on Harmonisation – Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP) E6 standard

This HRPP toolkit incorporates maximum regulatory flexibility consistent with good compliance practice.

These Standard Operating Procedures are comprehensive, brief (<60 pages), easy to follow, non-redundant, easy to update and maintain, and readily adaptable to electronic IRB systems. Importantly:

  • These documents have been used successfully by organizations applying for AAHRPP accreditation.

  • They have successfully been incorporated into electronic IRB systems.

  • Unlike most SOPs, these documents are organized by business process (e.g., pre-review, review, post-review) rather than by topic (e.g., continuing review, drugs, and protocol deviations).

  • They reference checklists and worksheets, allowing users to efficiently and effectively document regulatory determinations.
