Subpart D protections apply to which type of research involving children?

• A. Any research regardless of funding.
• B. Only research conducted in clinical settings.
• C. All research funded by HHS involving children.
• D. Only research conducted by universities.

Answer: (C)

Subpart D provides extra protections specifically for child participants in research. It applies whenever the research involves children and is funded by the Department of Health and Human Services. This means things like parental permission and child assent, with tighter rules about risk and benefit, so federal-supported studies involving kids are held to higher safeguards. The setting or the institution doesn’t change the applicability—the funding source does. So, Subpart D protections apply to all research funded by HHS involving children, not just in clinical settings or at universities, and not for studies without federal funding.
