Prologue

University policy requires that researchers respect and protect the rights and welfare of individuals recruited for, or participating in, research conducted by or under the auspices of UCLA. In the review and conduct of research, actions by UCLA will be guided by the principles set forth in the Belmont Report, i.e., respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. The Human Subject Protection Committees (HSPCs) hold the primary responsibility for the oversight of the protection of human subjects recruited to participate or actively participating in research projects conducted by or under the auspices of UCLA.

In accordance with the UCLA Multiple Project Assurance (MPA) maintained with the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Office for Protection from Research Risks (OPRR), all human subjects research conducted by or under the auspices of UCLA will be performed in accordance with Title 45 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 46 (45 CFR 46). In addition, the actions of UCLA will also conform to all applicable federal, State and local laws and, regulations.
