Accreditation signifies that an organization has proven that its HRPP meets a rigorous set of international standards focused on research participant protection, evidenced-based practices, efficiency, and quality of service. An organization with an accredited HRPP has made a commitment to continuous quality improvement and to conducting ethical and rigorous human research.
