Federal regulations for the protection of human subjects were put in place after the unethical treatment of humans participating in research studies came to the attention of the international community. In 1981, the US Department of Health and Human Services codified their regulations on the use of human research subjects in the Code of Federal Regulations Title 45: Public Welfare, Part 46: Protection of Human Subjects, commonly referred to as 45 CFR 46.
John Carroll University adheres to these regulations. In 1997, the University approved and adopted a policy statement for the Institutional Review Board for the protection of human subjects applicable to its faculty, administrators, students, and staff.
