The Assurance documents the commitment of the Medical College of Wisconsin and Froedtert to protect human subjects.
Under Federal Policy (Common Rule) Section 102(f), awardees and their collaborating institutions become engaged in human subject research whenever their employees or agents intervene or interact with living individuals for research purposes or obtain, release or access individually identifiable private information for research purposes. In addition, awardee institutions are automatically considered to be engaged in human subject research whenever they receive an HHS award to support such research.
