The Homewood Institutional Review Board (HIRB) Standard Operating Policies & Procedures manual contains guidelines for the operation of HIRB. HIRB is the central component of the Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) for those divisions within Johns Hopkins served by HIRB. The manual is an important resource for HIRB and HRPP members, investigators, and HIRB staff. Individual sections are updated as needed; the date of the most recent modification appears at the beginning of each section. The HIRB will be modifying the appearance of the policies in the near future but the content will remain similar. |
