Human Research Protection
Boston Medical Center and the three schools on the Boston University Medical Campus (Medicine, Public Health, and the Goldman School of Dental Medicine) are committed to performing human research in order to advance our understanding of health and disease. This research must be conducted according to the highest ethical standards and in compliance with all regulatory requirements. The Office of Human Research Affairs (OHRA) is responsible for the oversight of this human research to assure that we meet those ethical and regulatory expectations.
