# §512.10. Purpose and scope.


General provisions for the protection of human subjects during the conduct of research are contained in [28 CFR part 46](/cfr/28/part46.md). The provisions of this subpart B specify additional requirements for prospective researchers (both employees and non-employees) to obtain approval to conduct research within the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) and responsibilities of Bureau staff in processing proposals and monitoring research projects. Although some research may be exempt from [28 CFR part 46](/cfr/28/part46.md) under [§ 46.101(b)(5)](/cfr/28/46.101.md?p=b-5), as determined by the Office of Research and Evaluation (ORE) of the Bureau, no research is exempt from [28 CFR part 512](/cfr/28/part512.md). For the purpose of this subpart, implementation of Bureau programmatic or operational initiatives made through pilot projects is not considered to be research.
