About Our Office of Human Subjects Protection
Whether your child is invited to participate in a research project, or you’re a Nemours associate or research professional, it’s important to learn about the extensive human subject protection safeguards we have in place at all Nemours facilities.
The Nemours Children's Office of Human Subjects Protection and its Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) ensure that all Nemours human research activities meet or exceed the highest ethical standards for protecting the rights and welfare of everyone who volunteers to participate.
