Two versions of the University of Washington Human Subjects Manual (1999 edition) are available on this site.

The best one for web browsing is the HTML version, which is gradually being adapted to be more fully integrated with the rest of this site.

Another version of the Manual is available in the form of the WORD document files from which the standard printed version was generated (the one that appears in departmental reference stations and in the Reference Division at Suzzallo Library. This version is more convenient for people who wish to print out their own paper copy.

Please note that the WORD document files are identical to the officially distributed printed version. They are changed or updated when the printed version is changed or updated. The HTML version, like all web-based resources, is in a process of continual revision.

The Manual deals with University of Washington Human Subjects policy and procedures. More specific information can be found on this site on the How To Do It and Forms pages.
