OHRP has added an annotated comparison of the pre-2018 Common Rule with the 2018 regulations. On this page you’ll also find additional information about whether a pre-2018 Common Rule provision has moved to another location in the 2018 Common Rule, and where to find it. While not an official version of the revised Common Rule regulatory text, this resource serves as a quick reference.
