FDA Updates MAPP On Human Research

This FDA Manual of Policies and Procedures (MAPP) establishes the policies and procedures that employees in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) must follow when submitting human subject research for review to FDA’s Institutional Review Board (IRB), the Research Involving Human Subjects Committee (RIHSC), in the Office of Science and Health Coordination (OSHC) within the Office of the Commissioner. These procedures must be followed, and written RIHSC approval or exemption obtained, before initiating any research involving human subjects. This MAPP also establishes policies and procedures pertaining to responsibilities for study conduct and oversight.

This MAPP is a revision of an earlier MAPP originally numbered 4112.6. The MAPP’s change in number reflects the establishment of the Office of Translational Sciences (OTS) within CDER.
