Protection of Human Subjects Committee

Committee Charge

The FASEB Protection of Human Subjects Committee is authorized to determine whether a FASEB member society program involving surveys to evaluate educational programs and other social science endeavors are exempt from Institutional Review Board review (under HHS regulations at 45 CFR 46.104(d)).

Committee Objectives

1. Provide FASEB member societies a mechanism to conduct IRB review and determine whether projects meet exemption criteria according to existing regulations.

2. Review member society educational programs and projects.
3. Facilitate Board member engagement in FASEB activities.
