Before
we can issue an award, your institution must file a human subjects assurance online with the Office
for Human Research
Protections (OHRP).
If you already have an assurance,
include the number when you submit your application.
If you don't
have your assurance number at the time of application or if it
has changed since your last submission, you must provide it after
you
receive a just-in-time notification.
Just-in-time refers to information that we ask you to
send us after your application goes through initial peer review and
is
being considered
for an
award. For submission information,
see
How do I submit JIT information? in
our Just-in-Time questions and
answers.
To learn more about assurances, see the bullets
below.
- Electronic
applications. See section 2, Assurances and Certifications, under Part III, Policies, Assurances, Definitions, and Other Information, in the Grant Application Guide for your Grant
Application Package.
- Paper applications. See section 2, Assurances and Certifications, under Part III, Policies, Assurances, Definitions, and Other Information, in the PHS 398.
Every institution doing human subjects research requires
its own Federalwide Assurance. Even if you're
not studying human subjects, but your collaborators are, you'll still
need to make sure that Federalwide
Assurances (FWA) with the Office for Human Research Protections are
in place. If you're applying for a multiproject application, reviewers
evaluate each project individually for compliance.
Go to Electronic
Submission System for Federalwide Assurances and IRB/IEC Registrations to
register, update, or renew a Federalwide Assurance. Also see the
FWA terms for domestic and
international institutions.
