            It is the policy of the Eye Bank Association of America that institutions and organizations using experimental animals in projects or demonstrations supported with funds from EBAA grants shall assure the EBAA in writing of compliance with the Principles for Use of Laboratory Animals as stated in the regulations of the Department of Health & Human Services.
            Human Subjects
            Safeguarding the rights and welfare of human subjects involved in research supported by the Eye Bank Association of America is the responsibility of the institution to which the support is awarded. It is the policy of the Eye Bank Association that no grant to support research involving human subjects be made unless the research is given initial and continuing review and approval by an appropriate committee of the applicant's institution. This review should assure that (a) the rights and welfare of the individuals involved are adequately protected, (b) the methods used to obtain informed consent are adequate and appropriate, and (c) the risks to the individual are outweighed by the potential benefit of him or her by the importance of the knowledge to be gained.
