"AAHRPP is a leader in how we think about human research protections.  "

Martha Jones, MA, CIP

Vice President, Human Research Affairs

"We...viewed accreditation as values-driven, not rule-driven. We wanted to make sure ethics would be at the center of any accreditation standards."

Joan Rachlin, JD, MPH

Former Executive Director

Public Responsibility in Medicine and Research (PRIM&R)

"

…In a time of pressure on funding, why would we spend money on AAHRPP accreditation? And I can tell you now from a sponsor perspective, when we see an institution, organization, CRO that's AAHRPP accredited, we breathe a sigh of relief…It gives us reassurance that human subjects are protected…when we see that badge of approval, it gives us immense confidence that institutions are doing the right things...

AAHRPP Accreditation…acts as a call to action for all institutions to look at how they’re doing and try to do things better.

We were…elevating human research protections from simply an IRB activity to a comprehensive program within the organization. It was a completely different way of thinking.
