Subject: [RESADM-L] Bush Administration and OHRP-FWA

For those whose responsibilities include Human Subject Protection,
today's daily edition of the Chronicle of Higher Education reported:

*  THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION has questioned the legality of an
 agreement that the government has asked many researchers
 conducting studies involving human subjects to sign as a
 condition of receiving federal funds. The agreement was
 prepared by the Office of Human Research Protections, whose
 director announced his resignation last week.

The agreement to which they are refering is the Federal Wide Assurance.
The article also states that the administration may examine the Quality
Improvement program also instituted by OHRP.
