> 
> The current HHS regulations for the protection of human subjects in research were promulgated well before the widespread use of the Internet in the conduct of human subject research, and assessing how the regulatory requirements apply to this type of research can be challenging for both investigators and IRBs.  
> 
> This session will address how specific requirements of the HHS regulations apply to research using the Internet and discuss strategies for managing the relevant ethical issues and regulatory considerations, including:
> 
> •	assessing the privacy and identifiability of subject information obtained via the Internet;
> •	the use of the Internet for subject recruitment and retention; 
> •	informed consent procedures; 
> •	and maintaining confidentiality in an online environment.  
> 
> In light of the July, 2011 Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services seeking comment on possible changes to the Common Rule, this session will also discuss the related ANPRM proposals that are being contemplated on the Federal level.
