Human Research Protection Program (HRPP)
Abstract
The Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects is codified in the Department of Defense (DoD) as part 219 of title 32, Code of Federal Regulations (also known and hereinafter referred to as the "Common Rule"). DoD Instruction 3216.02 establishes policy and assigns responsibilities for the protection of human subjects in DoD-supported programs to implement the Common Rule and requires Heads of DoD Components to establish and oversee DoD Component policies and procedures that ensure compliance with federal and DoD requirements. The Secretary of the Navy Instruction (SECNAVINST) 3900.39E CH-1 identifies the Chief of Naval Research as providing support and expertise for human research protection in research conducted or supported by the Navy and Marine Corps Systems Commands and institutions, operational forces, training Commands, and Department of the Navy (DON)-supported research involving human subjects performed by non-DoD institutions. The Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) protects the rights, safety, and welfare of human subjects in research conducted or sponsored by the Navy and Marine Corps by: 1) ensuring that research involving human subjects complies with federal regulations, DoD Directives, DON Instructions, and Marine Corps Orders governing research protection requirements; and 2) providing education and training programs in human research ethics to all levels of staff involved in the review, approval, conduct, management, or support of DON human subjects research (HSR).
