Human Subject Research Needs Committee Approval
The following item is reprinted from a recent issue of Research Notes, published by the Office of Research Coordination, and concerns behavioral science research involving human subjects.
Under the assurance given by the University of Miami to the federal government, all research involving human subjects, whether medical or behavioral, must be cleared by one of several committees established by the University for the purpose.
Information about the requirements for clearance of investigations may be obtained through the Office of Research Administration at the School of Medicine (547-6627) or through the Office of Research Coordination on the Main Campus (284-4541).
The several committees involved in clearance meet monthly to review the proposed investigations, whether or not these proposed investigations involve external funding. The deadline for committee consideration is generally a week or ten days before the regular meeting date of the committee, and committees generally require abbreviated information for every committee member plus complete information for at least one committee member who serves as primary reviewer.
No student or faculty member should undertake any investigation involving human subjects without first submitting and receiving clearance from the appropriate committee(s).
By law, for projects which are externally funded by federal agencies and by the University’s policy as embodied in its assurance to the federal government, an investigation, to be approved, must promise to produce scientific results whose benefits exceed the risk to the human patients or subjects who would be involved. Further, risk to patients or subjects is defined as including physical and/or psychological danger, injury, stress or embarrassment.

The University’s Council of Vice Presidents has announced, through the Employee Benefits Office, that recent group medical premium increases will not be passed on to the employees.

Existing premium rates to employees will remain the same, with the increased premium being paid from a premium stabilization fund. This fund resulted from refunds from Aetna due to favorable claim experience in the life insurance program.
Once the fund is exhausted, it probably
a net benefit above risk to the patients or subjects, there is the further requirement that all patients or subjects be adequately briefed as to the nature of their participation, and that they give their informed consent to their participation.
Certain assurances as to the patient’s or subject’s right to withdraw from participation at any time and a guarantee as to the use to be made of the resulting data (data from individuals to be kept confidential, group results only to be published, etc.) also must be included in the informed consent.
will be necessary to increase the premium rate paid directly by the employee by May or June, 1976.

Herman, who received his B.A. degree from UM in 1953, has the distinction of having two musicals on the top ten long-run list—Hello Dolly and Marne.
Milk and Honey was his first Broadway venture in 1961, resulting in nominations for both Tony and Grammy awards. In 1964 he won a Tony award and Variety’s best composer and best lyricist awards for his work on Hello Dolly, which at various times starred Carol Channing, Angela Lansbury, Ethel Merman, Ginger Rogers, Betty Grable, Barbara Streisand, Lucille Ball and Pearl Bailey.
In 1969 he brought Dear World to Broadway, which won Angela Lansbury her second Tony award in a Herman musical, and in 1974 he wrote the score that was to become his personal favorite, Mack and Mabel.
Songs from these shows will be featured in the Nov. 6 performance, sponsored by the University of Miami music alumni association.
Lisa Kirk has been the toast of two continents as an actress, singer, dancer, and comedienne, and has been seen in Allegro, Kiss Me Kate, Here’s Love, Mack and Mabel, Applause, Showboat, Say Darling, and Panama Hattie.
Joe Masiell was lauded for his performance in Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Carol Dorian has been associated with Mr. Herman since they were students at UM. In addition to radio, television and concerts, she has worked with composers in the presentation of their scores at the pre-production phase—including all of Mr. Herman’s shows.
