21 SUNY Optometry Earns AAHRPP Accreditation The Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs (AAHRPP) accredited the College’s human subject research program in March. AAHRPP provides accreditation for organizations that conduct or review human research, demonstrate that they have built extensive safeguards into every level of their research operation and adhere to high standards for research. The National Institutes of Health, the world’s largest public funder of research, has earned accreditation, as has Pfizer, Inc., the largest industry sponsor of clinical research. “The standards set by AAHRPP form the benchmarks that human subject research programs across the world strive for,” says Dr. Stewart Bloomfield, associate dean for graduate studies and research and director of the Graduate Center for Vision Research. “This achievement indicates that faculty and staff at the College offer the highest standard of care and protection for the people who serve as subjects in our clinical research program.” The College is only the fourth campus in the State University of New York system to earn this distinction; the University at Buffalo, Binghamton University and Stony Brook University are also accredited by AAHRPP.
