PRIM&R Responds to New NPRM Delaying Revised "Common Rule"
Boston, MA: Public Responsibility in Medicine and Research (PRIM&R) recently responded to the new Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) proposing to delay the general compliance date for the revised Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects, or "Common Rule," six more months to January 21, 2019. In our submitted comments, PRIM&R endorses the proposal under the assumption that the agencies use the delay to produce guidance and make it available to the regulated community far enough in advance of the compliance date to be useful in guiding institutions’ implementation plans.
