AccreditStation Version 3.0 – Compatibile with Final Revised AAHRPP Accreditation Standards

When AAHRPP released the first major revision to its accreditation standards in October, we already had an AccreditStation 3.0 beta system that was using a draft version of the revised standards.

Now, we’re pleased to announce that AccreditStation 3.0 is available to institutions that plan to submit their application following AAHRPP’s Final Revised Accreditation Standards!

Accreditation applications submitted after March 1, 2010, must comply with these revised standards.
Ask yourself:

  • Did you plan to complete your application under the current accreditation standards, only to discover that you may be unable to meet the February 28, 2010, submission deadline?
  • Have you decided to revise your application to meet the revised standards, even though you could meet the February deadline?
  • Were you planning to use AccreditStation to help you assemble your application for submission in 2010, but weren’t sure if it would include AAHRPP’s revised standards?

If you answered “Yes” to one or more of these questions, contact us today to learn how AccreditStation 3.0 can help you with your AAHRPP application project.

AccreditStation Affiliate, HRP Associates, Takes the Pain Out of Getting Accredited

Three years ago, you would have found the clients of Dr. Jeffrey Cohen, President of HRP Associates, Inc., burning the midnight oil as they tried to organize and assemble all of the documents for their AAHRPP® accreditation application.  Surrounded by piles of paper and wrestling with Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat, they would spend precious hours renumbering pages, revising element indexes, and aggregating PDF files.  

But today, they’re able to accomplish all of these tasks in a fraction of the time using AccreditStation.  Collaborating remotely with clients through the AccreditStation tool, Dr. Cohen is able to help more institutions get accredited in less time – concentrating effort on the content and quality of the accreditation materials, instead of on the technical complications of organizing and assembling an application package.

Applying his 30 years of experience to the improvement of human research protection (HRP) policies and practices, Dr. Cohen has helped 9 institutions achieve AAHRPP accreditation with another 10 in the process of applying, establishing himself as an “Accreditation Guru” in the process.  “The most satisfying part of my job is passing on the lessons learned from my previous accreditation projects,” states Dr. Cohen, “If I can prevent people from reinventing the wheel, they can get accredited more quickly, improve the quality of their HRP program, and get back to the important work of protecting human subjects.”

As an AccreditStation Affiliate since 2007, HRP Associates, Inc. has been certified as an authorized provider of application support, and can offer special AccreditStation rates to its clients.  Along with its network of experts, HRPA has the critically important expertise to assist institutions with a wide range of activities designed to ensure that their human research protections programs are ethically sound and legally compliant.
