IBC Questions 
- 2 - 
December 27, 1982 
6. How frequently does your IBC meet? 
The IBC met a year ago and meets at such times as the personal 
investigators ask for a review of their programs and projects. 
7. Does your IBC have other responsibilities at your institution? 
The IBC has no other responsibilities at this particular institution, 
not because of the way the NIH Guidelines are written, but because 
our particular institution has chosen to function this way. 
I hope that these comments will be helpful to you in your review 
with the RAC working group on further revision of the Guidelines. 
Sincerely 
Paul E. Hoch, Ph.D.
