Proposed Revisions to the Common Rule for the Protection of Human Subjects in the Behavioral and Social Sciences

The ethics of human-subjects research has captured scientific and regu- latory attention for half a century. Honoring the Belmont Report’s princi- ples—respect for persons, beneficence, and justice—ought to mean keeping abreast of the universe of changes that factor into the ethical conduct of research today. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) took a giant step in this direction with the publication of an Advance No- tice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) in July 2011, a plan for the first general overhaul of 45 C.F.R. § 46 since it was first promulgated in 1981, followed by issuing Subpart A as the Common Rule in 1991. The commit- tee applauds and supports the issuance of the ANPRM. This committee’s review—concerning how updated human subjects protections regulations can effectively respond to current research contexts and methods—counts the ANPRM as a major stimulus.
