Exempt Human Subjects Research (HSR)

HSR in which the only involvement of human subjects will be in one or more of the categories outlined in 10 CFR Part 745.104. Within DOE, the initial exemption determination is made through the appropriate central DOE or DOE site IRB or IRB office. Note that exempt HSR is a category of HSR and has nothing to do with a request for an exemption from the requirements of this Order (as described in definition 1. above).
