When the allegations or indications of noncompliance (complaints) are limited solely to the research activities conducted or supported by another Common Rule department or agency, for Human Research Protections (OHRP) will refer the matter to appropriate officials at the other department or agency for further investigation and action, as appropriate. OHRP’s Division of Compliance Oversight (DCO) will not be involved in the conduct of the investigation unless the relevant department or agency requests OHRP’s involvement. When the other department or agency completes its investigation without OHRP involvement, a report on the outcome of the investigation should be provided to OHRP.
