What is ED policy on the use of human subjects for research?
The U.S. Department of Education’s regulations for the protection of human subjects (Education Department General Administrative Regulations, 34 CFR, Part 97), require that each institution engaged in projects involving research with human subjects must ensure that subjects are protected from research risks. All projects involving human subjects must have an approved Assurance of Compliance form on file and provide Certification that the Institutional Review Board (IRB) designated in the Assurance has reviewed and approved the proposed research activities before they are initiated. For additional information about the protection of human subjects in research, consult the Department of Education’s Protection of Human Subjects in Research website at: http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocfo/humansub.html.
