DOE Human Subjects Resources
DOE Written Assurances
Written documentation is required by DOE that ensures institutional compliance with and implementation of DOE and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations for the protection of human research subjects. Such documentation from the prospective performing institution shall be satisfactory to the Secretary of Energy.
The only documentation currently meeting this requirement is the Federalwide Assurance. See www.hhs.gov/ohrp/assurances/assurances_index.html.
Not all DOE sites perform research on human subjects, and several of these sites make use of Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) at other institutions. A listing of DOE sites with human subjects activities, their assurances to perform such work, their IRB chairpersons or non-DOE institution, and their IRB administrator or contact is provided in the following table.
