Children's Earns Full Accreditation for Pediatric Clinical Research
Children's Healthcare of Atlanta has achieved full accreditation from the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs (AAHRPP). AAHRPP uses a voluntary, peer-driven educational model to ensure that prospective programs meet rigorous standards for quality and protection. To earn accreditation, organizations must provide empirical evidence through policies, procedures, and practices of their commitment to research that is scientifically and ethically sound, as well as demonstrate continuous improvement. AAHRPP offers accreditation to organizations worldwide that conduct biomedical, behavioral, or social sciences involving human participants. As part of Children's 10-year strategic initiative, advancements in clinical research will help CHOA offer leading-edge treatment to patients now and in the future.
