This revision to RFA HD-93-004 is intended to notify potential

applicants that the President has signed into law the NIH

Revitalization Act of 1993, which contains certain Miscellaneous

Repeals (Sec. 121), one of which may be important for your application.

The repeal of note is for the provision in the current Code of Federal

Regulations pertaining to the protection of human subjects, 45 CFR

46.204(d), which requires a federal level Ethics Advisory Board (EAB)

review for applications involving human in vitro fertilization (IVF).

With the lifting of this requirement, the NIH can now conduct and

support clinically related research involving human IVF as recommended

by a grantee organization's Institutional Review Board (IRB) without

the necessity for federal level EAB review in all cases.  It is

anticipated, however, that proposals for certain types of research that

relate to human IVF may still be subject to special review on a

case-by-case basis.
