that subjects may be involved within the period of support, but definite 

plans would not normally be set forth in the application or proposal.

completion of instruments, prior animal studies, or purification of 

compounds. These applications need not be reviewed by an IRB before an 

award may be made. However, except for research exempted or waived under 

Sec. 26.101 (b) or (i), no human subjects may be involved in any 

project supported by these awards until the project has been reviewed 

and approved by the IRB, as provided in this policy, and certification 

submitted, by the institution, to the department or agency.
