Human Subjects Research in Foreign Countries

The International Compilation of Human Research Protections PDF*, by the US Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Human Subjects Protection, is an annual compilation to assist scientists involved in international research so that they may become familiar with these standards and can follow them appropriately.
