Why should a human subjects protocol be submitted by the researcher?
UNLV is guided by the ethical principles regarding research involving human subjects as described in the Belmont Report. The Belmont Report is a report written by the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research in 1979. The Belmont Report set forth the criteria used by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to establish rules for institutions engaging in research. These rules were codified as 45 CFR 46 and in 1991 a common rule was established, which was adopted by all federal agencies. UNLV has filed an assurance with DHHS called the Federalwide Assurance to comply with these regulations. The federal agency under DHHS with oversight over human subjects research regulations is the Office of Human Research Protections. Also, please see UNLV Human Subjects Policy (doc) .
