Core facility that provides the following services: Clinical study support services. The Office of Human Subject Recruitment and Protection (OHSRP) provides consultation and guidance to the Penn research community on all issues related to adult and pediatric human subjects being seen through the CTRC facilities, including recruitment and protection. The role of the OHSRP is to champion the mission of the feasible, safe and ethical conduct of human subject research within the CTRC. The original Research Subject Advocate (RSA) was a position mandated by the National Center for Research Resources under the NIH and was defined in order to ensure that research was being conducted in ways that did not increase the risk associated with conducting studies. In April 2008, the CTSA Consortium Steering Committee approved and endorsed best practices, which serve to define the mission, scope, and model for research advocacy within the CTSA consortium. The OHSRP has advanced the role of the Research Subject Advocate (RSA) by adopting the 2008 best practices defined by the CTSA Consortium. The OHSRP operations are complementary to and integrative with existing entities at the institution to promote and facilitate safe and ethical conduct of human research. The OHSRA complements the University of Pennsylvania Office of Human Research (OHR) and Institutional Review Board (IRB) in support of ensuring the safety of individuals participating in health research. The OHSRP serves as a resource to the research community and to participants; has a voice in policy regarding research ethics, participants? rights, and research safety; and plays a role in the protection of human subjects and responsible conduct of research educational programs of the institution. The OHSRP has direct access to, an authority that can temporarily suspend a research activity based on ethical and safety concerns so that problems can be explored or resolved through proper procedures. This capacity enables preliminary intervention into problems that might not necessarily invoke an institutional review board (IRB) suspension. The OHSRP has a reporting pathway to institutional officials of appropriate authority and is free of conflict of interest.
