Tip Sheets

Tip Sheets are designed to help Organizations write Human Research Protection Program policies, procedures, and other supporting documents that help them meet the Accreditation Standards.


The Tip Sheets are based on the Evaluation Instrument for Accreditation and have been updated to reference the Standards and Elements of the AAHRPP Accreditation Standards.

The Tip Sheets are most useful when used alongside the Evaluation Instrument for Accreditation. The formats for policies and procedures described in the Tip Sheets are flexible. As long as you provide the required content, the format of your Organization's policies and procedures could differ from the Tip Sheets.


Before using a Tip Sheet, review the Evaluation Instrument for Accreditation and consider your Organization's current practice, taking into account organizational issues that might affect the current practice. Then use the Tip Sheets below to help you write or revise policies, procedures, or other supporting documents that fit your Organization.
