OHRP Draft Guidance on Oral History; No Mention of Examples

OHRP has posted draft guidance on “Scholarly and Journalistic Activities Deemed Not to be Research: 2018 Requirements.”


The draft reiterates the distinctions made in the January 2017 Federal Register announcement of the new Common Rule, stating:


It is not the particular field that removes the activity from the definition, but rather that the purpose and design of the particular activity is to focus on specific individuals and not to extend the activity’s findings to other individuals or groups. 

Unlike the June 22 video, the draft guidance offers no examples of projects that would or would not be regulated. We are left with a video that offers examples inconsistent with the Federal Register announcement and the official draft guidance from OHRP.
