To enable the JHM HRPP to uphold its’ mission during an emergency, the JHM HRPP has developed a robust emergency preparedness plan.   The plan is intended to guide the JHM HRPP in the continuation of operations during an emergency. An emergency can be due to natural causes (e.g., infectious disease outbreaks, severe weather, flooding) or manmade causes (e.g., fire, exposure to hazardous materials, interruption of basic utilities, mass casualties, or acts of violence). 

The HRPP Emergency Preparedness Plan is intended to apply to all research for which the JHM IRB is the reviewing IRB and JHM research that relies on an external IRB.

For information on the Plan, including how the plan was developed, plan activation, communication and plan maintenance please use the following link: HRPP-Emergency-Preparedness-Plan

In the event an emergency triggers activation of the plan, additional information will be available on the JHM IRB website.
