Human Research Protection Program (HRPP)
Abstract
The purpose of Department of the Navy (DON) Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) is to protect the rights, safety, and welfare of human subjects in research supported by the Navy and Marine Corps. The Office of Naval Research (ONR) Research Protections Division, a component of the DON HRPP, is responsible for: 1) ensuring that research involving human subjects complies with Federal, DoD, and DON research protection requirements; and 2) providing education programs in human research ethics to all levels of staff involved in the review, approval, conduct, management, or support of DON research involving human subjects. The Secretary of the Navy Instruction (SECNAVINST) 3900.39D identifies the Navy Surgeon General (SG) as the single point of accountability for the DON-wide program and identifies the Chief of Naval Research (CNR) as providing support and expertise for human research protection in the systems commands, operational forces, training commands and DON-supported non-DoD institutions. The program is essential to enabling DON to satisfy mandated DoD Instruction 3216.02 requirements.
