We
expect few exemptions for human subjects at NIAID, so
how can you decide if one applies to you?
Since the Office for Human Research Protections clarified what it considers to be human subjects research,
the six human subjects exemptions rarely
apply to NIAID.
Almost all research at NIAID is either "human
subjects" or "not human subjects."
What is human
subjects research? You are conducting
human subjects research if you obtain data by intervening or interacting with
a living person or if you obtain individually identifiable private
information about a living person. Click on the glossary links in
blue for definitions.
If your research is not considered
to be human subjects, you
won't need to address human
subjects reporting requirements.
If you've looked through NIH and
NIAID guidance and still think your research may be exempt, contact
your program or
project officer.
To learn more about exemptions, read
the following:
- Electronic applications. Section 2, Scenario C, under Part II, Supplemental
Instructions for Preparing the Human Subjects Section of the Research
Plan, in the Grant Application Guide for your Grant
Application Package.
- Paper applications. Section 2, Scenario C, under Part II, Supplemental
Instructions for Preparing the Protection of Human Subjects Section of the Research
Plan, in the PHS 398.
