Revocation of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) policies and the implementation of the Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) policies and procedures.

The Office of Grants and Sponsored Programs wishes to replace the IRB policies with the newly drafted HRPP policies and procedures. The Office of Grants and Sponsored Programs will first seek approval of the HRPP policies and procedures on an interim basis, in accordance with the Policy on Policies. The policies and procedures will be reviewed by the Office of the General Counsel and then submitted to the President for approval. The approved policies and procedures will then be submitted to the Board of Regents for permanent approval at a later date.

More information can be found in Dr. Sharp's letter.
