What is known as the Common Rule? What does it say?

Correct Answer

verifed

verified

The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the Food and Drug Administration then translated these principles into specific regulations that were adopted in 1991 as the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects also known as the Common Rule (Title 45 of Code of Federal Regulations [CFR], Part 46). This policy has shaped the course of social science research ever since, by requiring organizations that sponsor federally funded research-including universities-to establish committees that review all research proposed at the institution and ensure compliance with the federal human subjects requirements when the research is conducted. This policy has shaped the course of social science research ever since. This section introduces these regulations. After 25 years, the Common Rule was revised, with modifications that were supposed to be implemented in January of 2018 but were delayed at the last minute, and the effective date was moved to July 19, 2018 (Allen, 2018). The revisions relaxed some requirements for social science research and made several other important changes that are consequential for both medical and social science researchers. These regulations, as revised, inform the discussion that follows (Chadwick 2017).
