Nemours Office of Human Subjects Protection (NOHSP)

Resources for Study Participants

Nemours research scientists and physicians have helped develop many of today’s most advanced treatments to improve the health of children. When a new drug, device or procedure shows great enough potential, it must be carefully tested to be certain that it’s safe and effective. These tests are called clinical trials, and the patients who choose to participate in them are called human subjects.

The Nemours Office of Human Subjects Protection (NOHSP) helps ensure that all clinical trials involving human subjects — at every Nemours facility — are conducted in accordance with the highest safety standards; all applicable laws and Nemours policies; and generally accepted precepts of ethical conduct.

Training: Human Subjects Protection

For Research Professionals

Nemours encourages all Associates to educate themselves about the ethics and regulations regarding the protection of human subjects in research. For anyone involved in the conduct of Nemours-based research (Nemours employees and non-employees), web-based coursework is required.
