It is the policy of the Johns Hopkins University, and its Human Research Protection Programs, to comply with the State of Maryland mandatory disease and condition reporting regulations. The list of reportable diseases and conditions is updated periodically and may be found at the Maryland Department of Health web site. The IRBs will determine in the research protocol review process when compliance with the Maryland mandatory disease and condition reporting regulations is required in association with conduct of a protocol.

The IRBs, in their review, also considers the requirements associated with Certificates of Confidentiality. Information is available at https://grants.nih.gov/policy/humansubjects/coc.htm for options for addressing local reporting requirements in studies for which a Certificate of Confidentiality is granted.
