Event: The Future of Human Subjects Research Regulation

November 9, 2011

Friday, May 18 and Saturday May 19, 2012
Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently released an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM), titled “Human Subjects Research Protections: Enhancing Protections for Research Subjects and Reducing Burden, Delay, and Ambiguity for Investigators,” which proposes to substantially amend the Common Rule for the first time in twenty years.  This development, as well as attention by the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, suggests we are at a moment when the regulation of human subjects research is ripe for re-thinking.  This conference is meant to gather leading experts from the U.S. and across the globe to assist in that rethinking.
