n APA weighs in on proposed changes to human research protections While APA supports many of the proposed revisions to federal regulations that protect human research participants (45 CFR 46, the Common Rule), the association is concerned about other proposed changes. In a letter to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, APA said it agreed that the Common Rule should be revised and supports such changes as: • Calibrating the level of review to the level of risk of harm. • Expanding exempt research categories, but APA urges the Office of Human Research Protections to retain the current practice for exempt studies rather than adopt the proposed “excused research model,” which requires that the research meet onerous data security and information protection standards, as well as informed consent requirements in some instances. • Periodically reviewing and revising the list of research activities that are exempt or that qualify for expedited review. However, APA also expresses strong concerns about other proposed revisions and their potential impact on the conduct of behavioral and psychological science research. For example, APA opposes: • The new requirements for data security and information protection based on the HIPAA Privacy Rule. • The inclusion of prescriptive language for consent forms, since it would be inappropriate for many types of research and thus increase administrative burden. • The call for broad, general, open-ended consent for unspecified future use of data. APA believes this threatens the fundamental ethical principle of respect for people.
