How will I know when my institution’s Federalwide Assurance (FWA) is approved?
If the Federalwide Assurance (FWA) (both new and updates/renewals) is submitted electronically, the submitter, the Human Protections Administrator, and the Signatory Official will receive an automatically generated e-mail informing them of the approval of the FWA immediately upon approval. Of course, this is dependent upon e-mail addresses being provided in the FWA. If the FWA (both new and updates/renewals) is submitted in hard copy, the institution will have to monitor the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) website for evidence of approval or contact OHRP. Institutions holding OHRP-approved FWAs are listed on the OHRP website at http://ohrp.cit.nih.gov/search/.
