The level of oversight should be scaled and commensurate to the institution’s research mission and portfolio. To ensure compliance with DoDI 3216.02, the Army Component Human Research Protections Office (AHRPO) regulatory personnel evaluate Army institutions to determine HRPP needs through regulatory support, assistance, assessments, relationship building, and education.
