The Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) oversees the protection of human subjects in federally funded research activities. The OHRP accomplishes its mission through assurance negotiation and development, compliance oversight, and education development. Staff will be available to discuss the regulatory and ethical principles involved in human subject research, the IRB Guidebook, the videotape series entitled, “Protecting Human Subjects,” and the regulatory and guidance materials available from the OHRP Web Site. The OHRP is making available a CD-ROM titled Investigator 101 to any institution having an approved DHHS Assurance on file with OHRP. This Investigator 101 CD-ROM is a state-of-the-art media that provides education on the responsible conduct of human research and protection of human subjects. It contains a combination of interactive features such as: cross-linking, search engines, speakers, slide presentations, transcripts, ethical and research guidelines, and federal regulatory documents. This excellent educational tool was developed by the Public Responsibility in Medicine and Research (PRIM&R).
