ADEQUATE PROTECTION OF THE RIGHTS
AND WELFARE OF SUBJECTS

The committee will carefully examine the research plan from each investigator to arrive at an independent determination of the possible hazards involved. In particular, the committee will be alert to the possibility that the principal investigator may unintentionally introduce unnecessary or unacceptable hazards or fail to provide adequate safeguards. The committee will consider the research plan as a whole in order to determine that the normally minor and acceptable risks are not aggravated by the way it is designed. The committee must be assured by the investigators that proper precautions will be taken to deal with emergencies that may develop even in the course of routine procedures.
