PHS HUMAN SUBJECTS & CLINICAL TRIALS INFORMATION NIH HUMAN SUBJECT STUDY RECORD ATTACHMENT

 

Overview: This guide will address how this form is populated under different scenarios: not human subject research; not human subject research but involves human specimens/data; and human subject research (with or without clinical trials).

To start: All National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) list whether they allow, require, or disallow clinical trials in the FOA’s title and in “Section II. Award Information.” You must select an FOA (solicitation) that accepts the type of research you wish to propose. Normally this is communicated clearly in the solicitation (FOA). For the Parent R01 solicitations, the options are expressed as follows:

  • NIH Research Project Grant (Parent R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
  • NIH Research Project Grant (Parent R01 Clinical Trial Required)

Depending on the solicitation selected, and the responses provided in the “Grants.gov S2S Questionnaire” and the Compliance section, Kuali will validate accordingly.

For proposals that do not include human subject research (and therefore do not also involve clinical trials), there are two scenarios:

Scenario #1

If no human subjects, data, or human subject specimens are planned:

  • Correlate to the correct solicitation (Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
  • Grants.gov S2S Questionnaire: Answer No to whether or not human specimens or data is involved
  • Compliance panel: Do not include a Human Subject option
  • These responses map to the sponsor form set and when printed it will look like this:
scenario 1

 

Scenario #2:

If human subject data, or human subject specimens are planned, and the correct solicitation was selected (Clinical Trial Not Allowed):

  • Grants.gov S2S Questionnaire: Answer Yes to whether or not human specimens or data is involved
  • Compliance panel: Do not include a Human Subject option
  • Human Subjects Explanation attachment is required for the Human Subjects Clinical Trials form when human specimens and/or data are involved. Select Attachments and then Proposal and load a document type PHS_HumanSubectsAndCT_InvolveHumanSpecExp. For help with this document, see the General Instructions For NIH & Other PHS Agencies
  • Job done. These responses map to the NIH formset and when printed it will look like this:

For proposals that do include human subject research:
