Founded in 2005 by Jeffrey Cohen as a consulting firm focusing solely on human research protection programs, HRPA is now a partnership with Cheryl Savini.

Jeffrey M. Cohen, Ph.D., CIP, has thirty years experience in the field of human research protections, including serving as an IRB administrator, Director of Education at the Office for Human Research Protections in the Department of Health and Human Services, and Associate Dean for Research Compliance at Weill Cornell Medical College.

Cheryl Savini, CIP, has over eighteen years experience in human research protections, including serving as an IRB member, IRB administrator, Research Compliance Officer, HRPP Director of a large medical University, and as a Quality Assurance Manager for the Human Subjects Research Office at the US Department of the Navy.

HRPA has worked with over fifty institutions/organizations to improve their HRPPs and assist in the training and education of IRB members, institutional officials, investigators, research coordinators, and IRB administrators.

An important part of HRPA's work has been assisting institutions in obtaining AAHRPP accreditation.  HRPA has over 20 accreditation clients - 12 of which have already received accreditation with HRPA's assistance throughout the entire process. Our remaining clients are at various stages of the accreditation process. 
 
Please look out for our monthly newsletter which includes helpful hints and articles regarding special HRPP-related topics. 

 

HRPA has extensive experience working with AccreditStation® (www.accreditstation.com) for document management and to prepare the application to AAHRPP. Many of our clients have used AccreditStation® and we strongly recommend its use.
