jan 19, 2017 - Revised Common Rule (Final Rule)

Description:

The HHS and fifteen other departments and agencies revised the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects, or Common Rule. The goal was to "modernize, strengthen, and make more effective" the Common Rule and to "modernize, simplify, and enhance" oversight and review systems (hhs.gov). Implementation of the Final Rule revisions was due to take effect in January, 2017 but has been delayed multiple times and is currently not yet active.
