Dear Dr. Saltz:
Pursuant to 45 CFR 46, the human subjects protocol of the above referenced study has been
approved by Pacific Institute's IRB #1 (IRB00000630) through expedited review on January 3,
2013. The IRB will continue to review the full protocol at least annually to reconfirm human
subjects procedures. This IRB approval expires on January 7, 2014.
Should there be any changes in protocols, including the ending of a project, or incidents
involving human subjects during the conduct of this research, you are required to report them
immediately to the IRB. Changes in research during the period for which IRB approval has
already been granted may not be implemented without prior IRB review and approval, except
where necessary to protect subjects (see regulations). Proposed changes to approved human
subjects protocols must be reported promptly to the IRB for review using the Continuation Review
format, or if the project has ended, the Final Report format.
For your records, our Federalwide Assurance number is FWA00003078, and our
organization number is IORG0000373.
Sincerely,

Bernard E. Murphy, Ph.D.
