Does our FWA state that all studies (not just federally funded studies) will be conducted according to the code of federal regulations ?
“FWA” means “Federalwide Assurance,” a promise that the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) requires every institution receiving federal research support to sign. In their FWAs, MCW and Froedtert demonstrate their awareness of the federal regulations, and they promise to follow the regulations. It’s an honor system. All FWAs also ask the institution: “Do you intend to apply the federal research regulations to 100% of the research you do — not just to the federally-funded research?” Both MCW and Froedtert have answered “Yes” to this question in their FWAs. For this reason, DHHS can enforce the federal research regulations for all studies under the jurisdiction of MCW and Froedtert.
