| The Assurance of Compliance is a public declaration by the institution
that commits you and all employees to comply with policies for the protection of human
subjects before you begin your research and to continue until you have completed it.
This assurance sets standards that will enable you to meet both ethical
and legal requirements. Failure to comply can delay research, harm subjects, and generate
sanctions against a research investigator, a laboratory, a research program, or the entire
institution. |
