The Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects (CPHS) is the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at Dartmouth College- a federally mandated committee with the charge of overseeing institutional research projects involving human participants. The CPHS serves as the IRB for Dartmouth College and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.
The mission of the CPHS is to protect the rights and welfare of research participants.

1) The CPHS office is implementing a new renewal process for non-federally funded, minimal risk (expedited) studies. The plan is to require a two year renewal period rather than a one year renewal period by default. This plan applies to existing and new expedited studies. If your study qualifies, the CPHS office will let you know and ask you to confirm a few facts about your study.
In order to qualify the research:
• Must be determined to pose no more than minimal risk to participants, and
• Must not be supported by any Federal funding or include vulnerable populations as participants.
2) We have updated many of our forms to include a new Conflict of Interest section.
