Overview
In order to protect the rights and welfare of research subjects, all research involving human subjects must comply with applicable institutional policies, laws, and regulations. Human Subjects are defined as living individuals about whom an investigator obtains data through intervention or private information.
The Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) provides oversight for all research activities involving human participants at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The HRPP is not an office, but rather a collective effort of all who participate in the conduct, review, approval and facilitation of human participants research at UW–Madison.
