investigator guidelines
The purpose of the Investigator Guidelines is to help researchers navigate through policies and procedures related to the conduct of Human Subject Research that are specific to Randolph-Macon College.
In these guidelines, we have tried to provide answers to frequently asked questions. While this manual cannot possibly address every situation or question that may arise, it is designed to serve as a reference guide to assist you in your efforts to conduct human subject research and assist in protecting the rights and welfare of human participants in accordance with federal standards in Human Research Protection Programs (HRPP), such as the Federal Wide Assurance (FWA) with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Human Research Protection (OHRP). The complete list of the policies and guidelines for human research can be found in the manual Standard Operation Procedures for the Human Research Protection Programs. A copy of the Belmont Report is also included.
