Human Subjects Research Protection

The protection of human subjects is an integral component of much of the research conducted at the School of Public Health. We have included policies and resources to assist in compliance with regulations.

Human subjects research guidelines, protocol submission forms, policies on continuing education, schedules of human research subject seminars, and workshops are listed on this web site.

SPH Human Subjects Protection Educational Requirements for Students

Effective Fall 2004, all incoming SPH matriculated students will be required to receive training in initial human research subjects protection and the protection of health information. Training must be completed within the student's first two academic semesters of entering the School of Public Health.

Federal-Wide Assurance Policy

If your research involves a partnership, the SPH investigator needs to ensure that the partner is covered by the Federal Wide Assurance Policy to conduct human research. If UIC is designated to serve as the Institutional Review Board (IRB), an institutional agreement (IRB Authorization Agreement) will also need to be completed. The policy of the process in obtaining the assurance is described.

Focus on Green Funding, Health and Human Services (Workshop Materials)

This web conference highlights green projects and health and human services program funding from sources that faculty and staff may not be too familiar with or even consider as viable funding sources. GRC highlighted green funding trends within the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Interior and discuss health and human services programs sponsored by the Health Resources and Services Administration, Administration for Children and Families, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and a few lesser-known foundations.
