We know that achieving AAHRPP accreditation is hard work. It can place great demands on staff and is sometimes cost-prohibitive. But, we also know that it is one of the most comprehensive ways to improve the quality of your HRPP while at the same time enhancing compliance and promoting an organizational commitment to protecting participants in research.
HRP Consulting Group can help you offset some of your accreditation costs so that you can achieve the AAHRPP Seal without neglecting the other important work that you do.
Our staff, together with our Director of Consulting Services, Nick Slack, who served as AAHRPP’s Associate Director of Accreditation, will guide you through the process of earning accreditation while minimizing the costs to the rest of your program.
HRP Consulting Group has helped approximately 20 organizations earn the AAHRPP seal and is in the process of working with a number of others. We take an individualized approach to every organization, but we always offer the following as a part of our accreditation package:
- Assistance with interpreting the AAHRPP Standards and Elements.
- Providing staff and knowledge support to help you conduct your self-assessment.
- Providing AAHRPP compliant template SOPs that can be individualized for your organization.
- Providing AAHRPP compliant forms and checklists that can be used by your IRB members and staff.
- On-site implementation evaluation.
- Building your AAHRPP application and response packages using AccreditStation software.
- Assistance in responding to AAHRPP Step One Reports, Draft Site Visit Reports, Improvement Plans, and Status Reports.
We realize that accreditation is a big decision, so we are happy to answer any questions that you might have about the accreditation process.
