APPENDIX A 105 APPENDIX A Data Sources and Methods In an effort to comprehensively address the task of recommending accreditation standards for Human Research Participant Protection Programs (HRPPPs), the committee reviewed and considered various data sources in a concerted effort to cast a broad net for the collection and assessment of information. These sources included presentations before the committee from interested organizations, individuals, and federal agencies as well as formal public comments; a review of relevant literature; and commissioned draft standards for accreditation. A summary description of the committee's evidence-gathering methods follows. PRESENTATIONS AND PUBLIC COMMENT Over the course of the study, the committee requested and received written responses and presentations from organizations and individuals representing many perspectives of accreditation and human subjects protections in general. The committee felt it was important to receive as much input as possible from public and private groups involved with or seeking involvement in the accreditation process and human subjects protections, as well as from health professional and other organizations. To accomplish this, the committee held public meetings on December 18, 2000, and February 21, 2001, and convened a larger public forum on January 22, 2001, to gather information and hear from groups and individuals. The speakers at these meetings are listed in Box A-1.

APPENDIX A 107 At the second meeting, the committee convened a public forum in order to hear a variety of perspectives on the preliminary draft accreditation standards formulated by Public Responsibility in Medicine and Research (PRIM&R), the accreditation process, and the protection of human research subjects. Over 125 people attended the meeting. Representatives of government and regulatory organizations, private accrediting groups, associations, institutions, IRBs, social science groups, research participants, and investigators made short presentations that were subject to comment and questioning from the committee and audience. In order to include as many people and groups as possible, the committee sent out a mailing that included an announcement of the public forum, a one-page description of the study, the committee roster, and a cover letter explaining the committee's purpose for requesting the information. The letter was sent to a variety of interested people and groups via fax, e-mail, and listservs, and asked those interested to send or fax comments pertinent to the committee's task and to respond to the PRIM&R draft standards for accreditation. The committee also used the project website [www.iom.edu/hrrp] to elicit comments on the project and the draft standards by providing project details, contacts, and links to pertinent information. The materials submitted to the committee supplemented those obtained by the committee through the literature review and public meetings. A small portion of the third committee meeting was held in open session to hear additional comments from project sponsors. In addition to the participants listed in Box A-1, many other individuals attended and participated in the public meetings, and/or provided written information to the committee.
