What is the Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects and why does a committee need to review projects that involve human participants?
The Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects is charged by Mills College to oversee the health and welfare of human participants involved in research or projects that involve systematic contact (see below). The committee follows the guidelines established by federal and state regulations. It is important to understand also that, although the federal guidelines are primarily established to protect the human participant, the process of review and informed consent also serves to protect the researcher and the College.
