Welcome to the UW-Madison Human Research Protection Program
The University of Wisconsin-Madison Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) is an integrated institution-wide program coordinated by the Graduate School Office of Research Policy in concert with the Associate Deans for Research of the College of Letters and Science, School of Education and School of Medicine and Public Health, which house the four campus Institutional Review Boards (IRBs), and in consultation with the Office of Administrative Legal Services.
In addition to the four IRBs, other major components of the UW-Madison HRPP include several centers and committees that provide research review, such as the Comprehensive Cancer Center (UWCCC), the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR), the Office of Clinical Trials (OCT), the Pharmaceutical Research Center (PRC), the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC), and the Radiation Safety Committee (RSC). The program also intersects with the UW-Madison Conflict of Interest Committee (COIC) and the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (RSP).
