The Bureau of Health Workforce
(BHW) improves the health of the
nation’s underserved communities and

support a diverse, culturally competent
workforce by addressing components
including: education and training;
recruitment and retention; financial
support for students, faculty, and
practitioners; supporting institutions;
data analysis; and evaluation and
coordination of health workforce
activities. These efforts support
development of a skilled health
workforce serving in areas of the nation
with the greatest need.
The Office for Human
Research Protections (OHRP), Office of
the Assistant Secretary for Health, and
the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) are extending the comment

Institutions and IRBs.’’ A notice of
availability requesting comments on the
draft guidance document appeared in

2015. The Agencies are taking the

stakeholders. This extension will allow
interested persons additional time to
submit comments.

the comment period on the draft
