National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Extramural Research has

Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research". Users will find timely information
including frequently asked questions and other information relevant to
human embryonic stem cell research.

NIH
Forced to Release Information on Unfunded Grant Applicants
In 1999 a physician from New Hampshire
submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) asking for the names and addresses of a group
of unsuccessful NIH grant applicants. The term "applicant" was
interpreted to mean the Principal Investigator, not the applicant institution.
NIH refused the request citing the FOIA exemption covering information
that constitutes "an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy."
The physician appealed the decision to a federal court and on July 17,
2001 NIH was ordered to provide the requested information. This represents
a deviation in longstanding NIH policy of not releasing information about
unsuccessful grant applicants. Investigators are advised that they should
have no expectation of privacy if they submit a grant application to NIH.
Concerns about the privacy interests involved or harm from the release
of investigators' names can be sent to Wendy Baldwin, Deputy Director
for Extramural Research, by mail at NIH 1 Center Drive, MSC 0152, Building
1, Room 146, Bethesda, Maryland 20892-0152, or by e-mail at DDER@NIH.GOV.

IRB
Continuing Review Form Reminder
Recently, the Research Compliance
office modified the IRB continuing review form that is distributed to
investigators for completion at the time of a study's review. Investigators
are reminded to always submit a clean copy of the informed consent form.
A clean copy should have no stamps appearing on any of the pages, i.e.,
"Revised" or "Continuing Review Approved/Due". Questions
should be directed to the Research Compliance office: e-mail resrisk@iupui.edu
or call 274-8289.
IRB
Forms Must Contain Original PI Signature
Regulations require that IRB study files include forms (amendments,
continuing reviews, adverse events, etc.) with original investigator signatures.
Accordingly, investigators are reminded to ensure that copies of IRB forms
submitted to the IRB office are the copies that contain original signatures.
Questions should be directed to the Research Compliance office: e-mail resrisk@iupui.edu
or call 274-8289. |
