Human Subjects Research Database (HSRD)

Welcome


The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) provides information to the public on current research involving human subjects through the DOE Protecting Human Subjects Program.

The HSRD database contains information on all research projects involving human subjects that are not exempt by their local Institutional Review Board (IRB).

Project information is obtained annually from a questionnaire completed on-line by the principal investigator. Data are available from 1995 through 2011.

Disclaimer


Not all projects are included in the HSRD. Projects that are not included are those that are classified for national security reasons and those determined to be exempt from the regulations. The latter include de-identified data analysis and modeling projects related to international human, social, cultural, and behavioral research.

Beginning next year, the Department will also include in this database information on exempt projects.
