HJF manages nearly 1,500 active protocols
These protocols involve human subjects, animals and basic science research. We work internally with other departments at HJF to make sure the required and necessary language is in your subawards/subcontracts and other agreements.
Our Regulatory Affairs experts conduct monitoring visits and create and present study- or topic-specific training, depending on the needs of the program or sponsor. When our team conducts monitoring visits with your research program, we meet face to face with your research team and teach them how to stay in compliance.
Additionally, if your research site receives notification of an audit, our experts will work with you to prepare for the audit by reviewing your protocol documents, informed consent forms, source documents, case report forms/data collection forms, study-specific Standard Operating Procedures, and Institutional Review Board documentation. Regulatory Affairs can meet your program requirement for monitoring your study on a routine basis, instead of contracting with an outside Contract Research Organization.
Our Regulatory Affairs and Research Compliance Office is also the HIPAA Privacy Office for HJF. We ensure compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and investigate all HIPAA complaints and breaches. This office handles the Data Sharing Agreement/Data Use Agreements and Business Associate Agreements for HJF.
