HRPP announces new review system for human subjects research
The University of Georgia Human Research Protection Program (HRPP)’s new system streamlines reviews for certain exempt human subjects research. Studies involving normal educational practices or non-sensitive surveys/interviews will only need confirmation of exempt status. This change aims to enhance efficiency while maintaining protection standards. PIs must ensure compliance with HRPP and institutional policies. For more information, contact Director Kim Fowler at kfowler@uga.edu.

As part of its research, Michael Strand's lab in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences rears 13 different species of mosquitoes. These Culex pipiens eggs have been laid vertically in what is called a raft, floating on the surface of the water. Soon, they will hatch from the bottom, and the larvae will drop down into the water.
