The CDC Human Research Protection Office has received your submission for review of changes to exempt protocol #6972, “Participatory Mapping to Identify and Support at-Risk Populations in Emergency Preparedness”. I find that this research activity remains exempt under 45 CFR 46.101(b)(2). The following modification was reviewed and approved:

• Second round interview Interview Guide_Community Leaders.docx

• Second round invitation Invitation Letter_instrument_2.docx

As a reminder, additional changes to this protocol may not be implemented until they are reviewed and determined to be consistent with the exemption categories. Also, you will be asked to confirm that no changes have occurred in the protocol or the related science that would affect the ethical appropriateness of the research or this exemption from the current expiration date of 3/28/2020.

Please be reminded that the investigators remain responsible for appropriate human research protections even for research that is exempt from regulations for protecting human subjects.

If you have any questions, please contact your National Center Human Subjects Contact or myself at (404) 639-4127 (or by e-mail at Human Subjects Review - OD on the global CDC global address list or at [email protected]).
