The Office of Human Research (OHR) is the hub of the human research protection program for the Jefferson enterprise. OHR provides administrative support to the three Jefferson Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) in Center City and the Abington IRB. Together, these IRBs review and approve all human research conducted in the Jefferson enterprise. OHR creates and updates IRB forms, policy and guidance, ensures that training requirements for research personnel are fulfilled, monitors and assesses adverse events and unanticipated problems that may affect research subjects or others, notifies investigators when continuing review of protocols is imminent, and provides education for research coordinators, faculty and other personnel involved in human subjects research.
In partnership with the Jefferson research community, we strive to ensure the highest level of protections for human research participants.
