“Research Involving Human Subjects.
Occasionally a proposal for research invokving human subjects
originates outside of the Medical Department. The present committee
was appointed by Dr. Goldhaber to act as an interim committee for the
Medical Department in accordance with FDA, HEW and AEC requirements.
This Committee does not feel that they should be concerned with any
proposals accept those involving research done in the hospital or
through the outpatient department. Although it will be a rare incidence that a proposal generates outside of the Medical Department,
I believe there should be an SPI coverin, the possibility.
is a general proposal for such an SPI.
Enclosed
I suggest that after pu have
an opportunity to study it over and consider it with Mr. Rathvon that
the general problem be discussed with Br, Aranson, Mr. Finn and myself.
My own personal opinion is that the existinz committee is the
appropriate body to consider all proposals.
