The Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs (AAHRPP) is a non-profit organization that offers accreditation to institutions that conduct or review research with human participants: http://www.aahrpp.org.
Responding to increased public concern for protecting research participants, AAHRPP seeks not only to ensure compliance with federal regulations, but to raise the bar in human research protection by helping institutions reach performance standards that surpass the threshold of state and federal requirements.
