The University of Southern Mississippi and U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services have established standards
and guidelines to protect individuals who may be at
risk as a consequence of participation in a research
activity. The Human Subjects Protection Review Committee
(HSPRC) is responsible for insuring that adequate safeguards
are established to protect any individual who may be
at risk as a consequence of participation as a subject
in research activities. All investigations, experiments,
or demonstrations involving human
subjects in any way, regardless of the source of funds,
must be reviewed and approved by the
Human Subjects Protection Review Committee before the
activity is undertaken. This includes
activities in which a faculty member is supervising
student research activities, such as for graduate theses
and dissertations.
