HRPP Advisory Council

The HRPP Advisory Council provides recommendations to the U-M Institutional Official (Vice President for Research) and Deputy Institutional Official (Vice President for Research-Clinical and Human Subjects Research) with regard to HRPP policies and procedures, and identifies priority areas for improvement to enhance the effectiveness of the program.  This council may also focus on specific topics and question areas of interest and importance to the HRPP and bring the perspectives of the U-M research community to the deliberations of the Council.

The Council includes representation from a broad base of the research community.
