- Mission [1]
- The Human Studies Review Board addresses EPA's Goal 4 - Healthier Communities and Ecosystems. The HSRB provides advice, information,
and recommendations on issues related to scientific and ethical aspects of research with human subjects.In FY 2011, the Committee
met on six occasions (three face-to-face meetings and three teleconference meetings). The HSRB submitted three meeting reports
to EPA’s Science Advisor summarizing their recommendations. While the Committee is charged to provide comment on the science
and ethics of human subjects research conducted, supported, or regulated by EPA, similar to previous years, in FY 2011 the
HSRB focused mainly on proposed and completed third party research involving intentional exposure of non-pregnant, non-nursing
human adults. This research was conducted for submission to the Agency under the pesticide laws and was used for making regulatory
decisions.
