From The University Record:
The Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs has granted full accreditation to U-M, one of 15 institutions to receive the group’s endorsement this year.
The AAHRPP in a non-profit organization that works with universities, hospitals and other institutions that conduct biomedical, behavioral and social sciences research involving human participants. The group accredits institutions that demonstrate they provide participant safeguards beyond the threshold of state and federal requirements.
To date, 107 institutions have earned AAHRPP accreditation. The latest endorsements were announced March 20 in Washington, D.C.
Congratulations to all involved, especially UM-Flint’s IRB!
