However, the sensitivity of such research necessitates that the Command exercise prudence in its oversight responsibilities. The procedures employed shall be flexible and tailored to the requirements of the specific acquisi- tion. 2. It is the policy of USAMRDC that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Regulation on Protection of Human Sub- jects, Food and Drug Administration Regulations on Investigational Drugs and Vaccines and Investigational Medical Devices, and Advertisement Guidelines for the Recruiting of Research Subjects shall be adhered to by USAMRDC contractors and recipients, with the addition of the following specific DOD/USAMRDC requirements. a. Informed consent must be obtained in advance from the subject, or in the case of research intended to he beneficial to the subject, the informed consent of the subject or a legal representative of the subject must be obtained in advance. b. Contractors and recipients shall provide all neces- sary medical care to research subjects for injury or disease which is the proximate result of participation in the research. c. Anatomical Substances (organs, tissues, or tissue fluids) obtained from autopsy shall not be used for research or investigational purposes without the expressed consent of the next of kin. It should be noted that a general autopsy consent may not, in itself, be sufficient. If autopsy tissue is to be used, the protocol should include a copy of the consent form used to obtain the tissue. d. Anatomical Substances (organs, tissues, or tissue' fluids) obtained from a surgical procedure shall not be used for research or investigational purposes without the expressed consent of the patient or patient's legal representative.

If excised tissue is to be used, the protocol should include a copy of the consent form used to obtain the tissue. e. Anatomical substances linked by identifiers to a particular person and used for research shall be donated for the purpose of research, and shall be lawfully acquired. The donor shall be the person from whom the substance is removed or, in the event of death or legal disability of the person from whom the substance is removed, the next of kin or legal representative of such person. Donation shall be made by written consent and the donor shall relinquish all ownership and/or rights to the sub- stance.
