On December 21, 2021, an announcement was sent to the MIT Community in response to human subject research activities in the changing Omicron environment.
On March 3, 2021, an announcement was sent to the MIT Community announcing a new COUHES data classification and information protection policy was implemented with COUHES Connect, in collaboration with IS&T.
The COUHES office has begun using Connect to prepare and submit Comprehensive Review protocols, amendments, renewals and perform all other protocol actions.
Investigators conducting research determined by the COUHES Connect Exempt Evaluation to meet the criteria for exemption must follow the Investigator Responsibilities Guidelines for exempt research, which include responsibilities and management tasks outside of COUHES.
We want to let you know that there is an important COUHES update with regard to the Revised Common Rule (effective January 21, 2019). Please see the email that was sent to all investigators and individuals that are listed on a protocol. Visit the COUHES website for additional details. Contact couhes@mit.edu or call 617-253-6787 if you have any questions.
