International laws, regulations, and guidelines on human subject protections

The Office for Human Research Protections has just released a compendium of human subject protections laws, regulations, and guidelines (almost 1,100 in all) from 92 countries. The list includes web addresses to link directly to the law, regulation, or guideline of interest.

Go to http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/international/HSPCompilation.pdf for more information.

So, if you're planning an international-based research study, it would behoove you (I like that word!) to investigate whether or not additional research protections are required.
