Principles, Policies and Procedures for the Protection of Human Research Subjects

The International Food Policy Research Institute (“IFPRI”), in accordance with its federal-wide Assurance Agreement with the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), hereby provides its assurance that it will comply with:

  1. HHS federal policy regulations for the protection of human subjects for all human subjects research activities, regardless of the source of support;
  2. The Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regulations for the protection of human subjects and Institutional Review Boards for research involving articles regulated by FDA, where applicable and;
  3. Additional federal, state, and local regulations, where applicable, that relate to research involving human subjects.

IFPRI’S Institutional Review Board (“the IRB”) operates under this assurance.

At institutions that operate in compliance with federal regulations, the collection of private, identifiable medical information for research must be reviewed and monitored by an institutional review board according to a detailed set of standards listed in The Federal Register. The purpose of this Standard Operating Procedure is to outline the responsibilities of the IRB in upholding the ethical principles regarding research involving human subjects, that are described in 45CFR 46 and FDA Part 50 and 52 as well as the Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects for Research (“the Belmont Report”). The IRB reviews all research protocols initiated by IFPRI or others that utilize the data, resources, staff, or facilities of IFPRI.
