What types of human drug research are required to
comply with DHHS regulations?
All studies that are conducted by, supported or are otherwise subject to regulations by any federal department or agency that defines this regulation as
applicable.
Direct or indirect identification of human subject in educational research settings is the only condition under which educational research is typically subject to the requirements of 45 CFR 46. TRUE OR FALSE?
false
Research involving the collection or study of existing data, documents, records, pathological specimens, or
diagnostic specimens is not subject to the requirement of 45 CFR 46 if these sources are publicly available or if the information is recorded by the investigator in such a manner that subjects cannot be identified.
TRUE OR FALSE?
true
The requirements of 45 CFR 46 do not affect any state, local or foreign laws or regulations which may otherwise be applicable and which provide additional protections for human subjects. TRUE OR FALSE?

For U.S. funded studies conducted outside of the U.S., if a department or agency head determines that the
procedures prescribed by a local Institution afford protections that are at least equivalent to those in 45
CFR 46,he/she may approve the substitution of the foreign procedures provided what occurs?
true
Unless otherwise required by law, department or agency heads may waive the applicability of some or all
of the provisions of 45 CFR 46 to specific research activities otherwise covered by this policy, provided what is done with the waiver?
Provided advance notice is sent to the Office for Protection from Research Risks (renamed as Office of Human Research Protection) and published in the federal Register or as otherwise provided in department or agency procedures.
Institutions with DHHS-approved assurances on file are required to abide by provisions of title 45 CFR part 46 subparts A-D. TRUE OR FALSE?
true
What is the definition of “research” in the DHHS
regulation 45 CFR 46?
Research means a systematic investigation, including
research, development, testing and evaluation designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge.
For federally supported research, “human subject” means a living individual about whom an investigator
conducting research obtains either of which two items?
- Data through intervention or interaction with the
individual. - Identifiable private information.
Regulations for federally-supported research define the term “private information “ to include two types of
information. Name them.
- Information about behavior that occurs in a context in which an individual can reasonably
expect that no observation or recording is taking place - Information which has been provided for specific purposes by an individual and which the individual
can reasonably expect will not be made public (for example, a medical record).
For federally supported research, the term ‘intervention’ includes both the physical procedure by which data are gathered (e.g., Venipuncture) and
manipulations of the subject’s environment that are performed for research purposes. TRUE OR FALSE?
true
Private information must be individually identifiable
(i.e. the identity of the subject is or may readily be ascertained by the investigator or associated with the
information) in order to obtain the information to constitute research involving human subjects. TRUE OR
FALSE?
true
What does the term “certification” mean with respect to federally-supported research?
Certification is the official notification by an institute to the supporting department or agency, in accordance with the requirements of 45 CFR 46 that a research project or activity involving human subjects has been
reviewed and approved by an IRB in accordance with an approved assurance.
What information must each institution engaged in federally-supported research covered by 45 CFR 46 provide to the department or agency head?
Each Institution must either submit a written assurance ,or provide documentation of the existence
of a current federal wide assurance, that is appropriate for research in question that is on file with the Office of Human Research Protection (OHRP).
Federal departments and agencies will conduct or support research covered by 45 CFR 46,only if the institution has certified to the department or agency
head that the research has been reviewed and approved by an IRB, provided for in a valid assurance,
and will be subject to continuing review by the IRB.
TRUE OR FALSE?
true
Assurances applicable to federally-supported or conducted research are required to include a statement of principles governing the institution in the discharge of its responsibilities for protecting the rights and welfare of human subjects of research conducted at or sponsored by the institution, regardless of whether the
research is subject to federal regulation. TRUE OR FALSE?
true
Assurances applicable to federally supported or conducted research are required to include designation
of one or more IRBs established n accordance with the requirements of 45 CFR 46, and for which provisions
are made for meeting space and sufficient staff to support the IRB’s review and record keeping duties.
TRUE OR FALSE?
true
Assurances applicable to federally supported or conducted research are required to include written procedures which an IRB will follow. TRUE OR FALSE?
true
For federally supported research, who is responsible for publishing a list of categories of research that may be reviewed by the IRB through an expedited review
procedure?
The Secretary, Health & Human Services, publishes the
list in the Federal Register. A copy of the list is
available from the office for Protection from Research
Risks (renamed the Office of Human Research
Protection).
A federal department or agency head may restrict,
suspend, terminate or choose not to authorize an
institution’s IRB’s use of the expedited review
procedure. TRUE OR FALSE?
true
When appropriate ,an IRB is required to determine
whether, the research plan makes adequate provision
for monitoring the data collected to ensure the safety
of subjects. TRUE OR FALSE?
TRUE.
Determination of the adequacy of provisions to protect
the privacy of subjects and to maintain the
confidentiality of data, are not IRB responsibilities and
therefore do not impact approval or research. TRUE OR
FALSE?
false
The IRB must pay particular attention to ensure
additional safeguards to have been taken for vulnerable
subjects in federally supported research. List at least
three groups of vulnerable subjects of concern.
- Children.
- Prisoners
- Pregnant Women.
- Mentally disabled persons.
- Economically or educationally disadvantaged
persons
Institutions may require approvals in addition to the
IRB approval, but may not approve the research if it
has not been approved by an IRB. TRUE OR FALSE?
true
An IRB shall have authority to suspend or terminate
approval of research that is not being conducted in
accordance with IRB’s requirements or that has been
associated with unexpected serious harm to subjects.
TRUE OR FALSE?
true
