UCI Information Security & Privacy Committee
The 2018 Common Rule became effective January 21, 2019. The Common Rule is a federal policy regarding Human Subjects Protection. The Common Rule has been updated to include new exempt categories, new elements of consent and a revised defintion of ‘human subject’ – to name a few changes. Protocols approved on or after that date will be subject to additional requirements.
Research Protections staff will work with researchers directly to help facilitate this change. Please visit the UCI 2018 Common Rule Requirements website for specifics on how UCI is implementing the 2018 Common Rule.
The Human Research Protections index page is a single portal to resources, expertise and best practices for researchers, participants, IRB members, IRB partners and affiliates.
