International research
The Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) has developed an International Compilation of Human Subject Research Protections. The Compilation provides direct web links to each country's Key Organizations and laws, whenever available. OHRP believes this Compilation will help IRBs, researchers, and others to meet regulatory requirements to assure that research studies comply with applicable law. The Compilation can be accessed on the OHRP website.
