Letter to the Secretary of Health and Human Services Criticizing Recent Action Taken by the Office for Human Research Protection
Public Citizen expresses serious concern with the recent dangerously lax compliance oversight determinations made by the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) – a program office within the Office of the Secretary of Health and Human Services – that, unless overturned, will seriously undermine the regulatory protections for children provided under the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) human-subjects protection regulations.
