Under the authority of 42 U.S.C. 217a, Section 222 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended, SACHRP was established to provide expert advice and recommendations to the Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the Assistant Secretary for Health, on issues and topics pertaining to or associated with the protection of human research subjects.

The Subpart A Subcommittee (SAS) was established by SACHRP in October 2006 and is charged with developing recommendations for consideration by SACHRP regarding the application of subpart A of 45 CFR part 46 in the current research environment.

The Subcommittee on Harmonization (SOH) was established by SACHRP at its July 2009 meeting and charged with identifying and prioritizing areas in which regulations and/or guidelines for human subjects research adopted by various agencies or offices within HHS would benefit from harmonization, consistency, clarity, simplification and/or coordination.

The SACHRP meeting will open to the public at 11:00 a.m., on Wednesday, July 22, 2020, followed by opening remarks from Dr. Jerry Menikoff, Director of OHRP and Dr. Stephen Rosenfeld, SACHRP Chair. The meeting will begin with presentation of recommendations on the NIH Draft Data Management and Sharing Policy. This will be followed by a review of the Deceased Organ Intervention Research recommendations, and edits discussed at the March SACHRP meeting. The remainder of the meeting will be devoted to a new topic, the interpretation of Public Health Surveillance, 45 CFR 46.102(l)(2) and 46.102(k). The second day, July 23rd, will again host discussion of Public Health Surveillance, 45 CFR 46.102(l)(2) and 46.102(k), as well as consideration of a second new topic, Risks to Non-subjects in Human Subjects Research.
