Human Subjects Research Review Board reviewed the GRILL FLAME
protocol and concluded that it represented technology transfer
and validation of the technology transfer, rather than research
or clinical investigation, and as such, GRILL FLAME activities
did not require approval for human use. However, the Board
expressed concerns that future Army follow-on work might be
classified as research, and as such, plans should be considered
to establish credible human use review procedures to oversee
GRILL FLAME activities. In April 1979, Army General Counsel
determined that the Army could continue/proceed with GRILL
FLAME activities as long as HEW guidelines and other appropriate
precautionary measures were taken. In April 1980, the Under
Secretary of the Army approved the continuation of GRILL FLAME
activities. In October 1980, the OSD, DIA, and Army General
Counsels jointly agreed that it would be prudent to obtain
written approval from the Deputy Secretary of Defense to conduct
GRILL FLAME activities. ACSI, DA concurrently initiated action
to obtain Secretary of the Army approval to conduct GRILL FLAME
activities. In September 1982, INSCOM GRILL FLAME activities
ceased because of NFIP restrictions; INSCOM psychoenergetic
activities were reinitiated in December 1982, under the INSCOM
CENTER LANE Project (ICLP), an S&IA activity. Secretary or
Under Secretary approval for GRILL FLAME/ICLP activities has
been granted on 14 January 1981, 1 February 1982 and 1 September
1983. Approvals are generally valid for one year.
3. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Discussion.
Paragraph 1 references require an agency internal review
board to insure compliance with human use guidelines. Operating
originally as an ACSI-directed project, GRILL FLAME/ICLP
activities in the past were reviewed by HQ, DA components to
insure compliance with human use directives. With the transfer
of program management from OACSI to INSCOM on 14 January 1981,
and the promulgation of the INSCOM Human Technology Review Board
(HTRB) on 11 January 1984, human use review and subsequent
approval action of ICLP is now an INSCOM responsibility.
4. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Recommendations.
Recommend that the ICLP Protocol now be reviewed by the
INSCOM HTRB to determine if ICLP constitues human use. If that
review results in a determination that ICLP still constitutes

human use, then approval to continue ICLP activities will have
to be obtained from the Secretary of the Army. In order to
review the ICLP protocol, voting members of the INSCOM HTRB will
have to recce ive a IC~P indncsctri_nation. T ie preparation of anew
IL`CP protocol, its review, and submission of required approval
documents will be accomplished by 1 September 1984, the
anniversary date of the last Secretary of the Army approval of
ICLP.
