The NBER and our funders are committed to protecting the rights, welfare and privacy of human subjects. We have a section of our website dedicated to providing resources for evaluating human subjects risks, as well as information about the NBER human subjects review process. There is also an on-line human subjects course which is required for all project investigators and co-project investigators on grants sponsored by agencies of the NIH. It is also recommended for other NBER researchers.
