To which research does Subpart D of the HHS regulations apply?

Subpart D of the HHS regulations specifically applies to all research that is funded by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This subpart focuses on additional protections for children involved in research, establishing guidelines to ensure their rights and welfare are prioritized during any research process.

Importantly, this means that any research study that receives funding from HHS must comply with these regulations, regardless of who the participants are or the nature of the research. This includes studies that might involve adult participants, educational data records, or any other category of research. Therefore, the applicability of Subpart D is rooted in the source of funding rather than the specifics of the study population or data type being utilized.
