consideration by SACHRP regarding the application of subpart A of 45 
CFR part 46 in the current research environment.
    The Subcommittee on Harmonization (SOH) was established by SACHRP 
at its July 2009 meeting and charged with identifying and prioritizing 
areas in which regulations and/or guidelines for human subjects 
research adopted by various agencies or offices within HHS would 
benefit from harmonization, consistency, clarity, simplification and/or
