Welcome to the home page for the University of Houston-Downtown’s
Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects (CPHS). The University
of Houston-Downtown is committed to the pursuit of excellence in teaching,
research and public service. At the same time, the University seeks to
protect the welfare of persons who may be involved in research and training
projects in accordance with the federal regulations, 45 CFR 46, and the
ethical principles established by the Belmont
Report (Belmont
Report Historical Archive).
All UHD faculty, staff or students who propose to engage in research
activities involving the use of human subjects must have approval prior
to the initiation of the project from the CPHS. The CPHS is responsible
for safeguarding the rights and welfare of persons participating in research
projects, whether funded or non-funded.
Any questions regarding the committee’s work or requests for the
documents listed below but not yet posted on this website should be directed
to the committee chair, Dr. Leigh Van Horn at 713 221 8991 or VanhornL@uhd.edu.
