If you are a grant recipient conducting human subjects research, use the Human Subjects System (HSS) to do the following:
- Electronically report, view, and update your project’s human subjects enrollment, inclusion, and clinical trial data for NIH.
- Edit data for existing studies, add a new study, and convert delayed onset studies to a full study record.
- Complete your Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) by transferring data that HSS imports from your application.
- Upload Human Subjects Data Directly to ClinicalTrials.gov from HSS.
Warnings and Errors: What to Do
When using HSS, you may encounter common warnings and errors. To help you resolve those issues, check out a new resource from eRA that describes some of the red flags that users commonly encounter: HSS Quick Guide for Warnings and Errors. The Guide provides instructions on how to resolve warnings and errors as well as general tips on getting information updated and submitted. Don't overlook the General Tips that direct you to “Read the error or warning details!” and “Unresolved warnings may still require your attention after submission!”
If you’re new to HSS and just getting started, go to the eRA HSS Training website for video tutorials and recordings, as well as Resources and Tip Sheets.
If you get stuck and Need Help, check out the last slide of the Guide, which directs you to the eRA Service Desk, HSS Online Help, and HSS Training website, as well as your program officer, among others.
