HRRC Overview

The Department of Rehabilitative Services is committed to protecting the rights and ensuring the safety of DRS consumers and employees participating in research. This is done through the Human Research Review Committee (HRRC). The Committee oversees all research conducted or authorized by DRS and Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center.

Additionally, independent living centers and sheltered workshop/employment services organizations (ESO) may affiliate with the DRS HRRC for any human research that is not funded or sponsored with federal resources.   

Research investigators interested in submitting an application for HRRC review should read the quick start for investigators.

It is recommended that DRS consumers who are considering volunteering to participate in research read the pamphlet entitled "Becoming a Research Volunteer" before you sign any informed consent document.

DRS has a Federal wide Assurance (FWA# 00008936) which was Approved: August 15, 2005 and Expires: August 11, 2008.
