Charles A. Briggs
Executive Director
SUBJECT: Human Subjects Research
1. Executive Order 12333 charges the Agency with responsi-
bility for conducting human research under Health and Human
Services (HHS) guidelines. The terms "research" and "human
subjects" are very broadly defined under these guidelines. On
occasion, Agency projects have come within this purview. Since
the Agency is not a research institution, this possibility may
be inadvertently overlooked. The agency has recognized this
potential and has increased employee sensitivity to the subject
of human research througn i corporating the HHS_guidelines o
in the past year. -Also .25X1
which expired October , drew attention to'this matter.
2. With the expiration of the Headquarters Notice, I hereby
request that-you identify a senior officer in your Directorate to
be specifically responsible for reviewing proposed projects and
activities for possible human subject research implications as a
part of the mechanism for your Directorate's approval of such
activities. Your Human Subjects Research Panel representative;
or the Panel itself, will be glad. to meet with officers so desig1,
nated in order to be of assistance in this matter. -- -~
