SACHRP provides expert advice and recommendations to the Secretary, through the Assistant Secretary for Health, on issues and topics pertaining to or associated with the protection of human research subjects. The committee is composed of 11 appointed voting members, with additional ex-officio members from Common Rule government agencies. SACHRP presently has two working subcommittees, the Subpart A Subcommittee (SAS) and the Subcommittee on Harmonization (SOH). The October 21 & 22, 2015 meeting will discuss recommendations from both subcommittees on the recently released Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for Revisions to the Common Rule. Time is allotted on both days for public comment.
