FWA     

The FWA places shared responsibility for protecting the rights of human subjects directly on you, as a research investigator, and Stanford, as an institution.

If you find the FWA unclear in a given situation, you should ask the Research Compliance Office for resolution. Not knowing or not understanding what the FWA requires of you is not an acceptable reason for ignoring or circumventing its policies.

Failure to comply with the Stanford FWA may constitute unethical behavior and violation of the law, and can lead to loss of research privileges for an individual, a laboratory, or for the entire University.

All Stanford researchers working with human subjects should be familiar with the University's FWA. It is located online in the Research Policy Handbook, where it is identified as RPH 7.1,

Federalwide Assurance for Protection of Human Subjects
