I remain subject to applicable State or local laws or regulations and institutional policies, which provide additional protections for human subjects.
This HBS may only be utilized in accordance with the conditions stipulated by the AHCBR and the IRB. Any additional use of this HBS requires Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) review.
