Human Subjects Research

Plans to resume human subjects research that involves in-person procedures must align with all Brown policies, guidance from public health authorities and State of Rhode Island requirements.

Brown’s HRPP (Human Research Protection Program) and IRB (Institutional Review Board) have established revised expectations of its human subjects research community as the COVID-19 situation on campus, off campus and internationally continues to evolve.
