The Washington University Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) has established an emergency preparedness plan to ensure the protection of research participants and continuity of the HRPP during emergencies (e.g., extreme weather, natural disasters, cyber-attacks). This plan reflects the core elements that can be applied to any type of emergency or disaster event that involves the conduct of human subject research, operations of the IRB and HRPO and other offices that support human subject research.
