The Office for Protection from Research Risks in the National Institutes of Health (now known as the Office for Human Research Protections) monitors IRBs to ensure that research with human subjects is conducted in accordance with federal regulations and guidelines. The Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has a similar role but only with regard to research involving drugs. The United States Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is responsible for improving access to healthcare services for medically underserved communities but does not have a role in monitoring IRBs. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is responsible for preserving and providing access to government records but is not involved in monitoring IRBs.
