For Research Administrators
New NIH Human Subjects
and Clinical Trials Policies
Do you conduct (or plan to apply) NIH-supported research with human participants? This 15-minute video, "Overview of New NIH Policies on Human Subjects Research and Clinical Trials," provides an explanation of various policy changes and what they mean for investigators. Applications to NIH with a due date on or after January 25, 2018, will require use of a new "PHS Human Subject and Clinical Trial Information form." Step-by-step instructions are available in a 9-minute video found at the link below.
