Background.

1979,
the

involved

Human

(S/CL-1/N0F0RN
)
Human
Subjects
Research
Review
Board
reviewed
the
GRILL
FLAME
protocol
and
concluded
that
it
represented
technology
transfer
and
validation
of
the
technology
transfer,
rather
than
research
or
clinical
investigation,
and
as
such,
GRILL
FLAME
activities
did
not
require
approval
for
human
use.
However,
the
Board
expressed
concerns
that
future
Army
follow-on
work
might
be
classified
as
research,
and
as
such,
plans
should
be
considered
to
establish
credible
human
use
review
procedures
to
oversee
GRILL
FLAME
activities.
In
April
1979,
Army
General
Counsel
determined
that
the
Army
could
continue/proceed
with
GRILL
FLAME
activities
as
long
as
HEW
guidelines
and
other
appropriate
precautionary
measures
were
taken.
In
April
1980,
the
Under
Secretary
of
the
Army
approved
the
continuation
of
GRILL
FLAME
activities.
In
October
1980,
the
OSD,
DIA,
and
Army
General
Counsels
jointly
agreed
that
it
would
be
prudent
to
obtain
written
approval
from
the
Deputy
Secretary
of
Defense
to
conduct
GRILL
FLAME
activities.
ACSI,
DA
concurrently
initiated
action
to
obtain
Secretary
of
the
Army
approval
to
conduct
GRILL
FLAME
activities.
In
September
1982,
INSCOM
GRILL
FLAME
activities
ceased
because
of
NFIP
restrictions;
INSCOM
psychoenergetic
activities
were
reinitiated
in
December
1982,
under
the
INSCOM
CENTER
LANE
Project
(ICLP),
an
S&IA
activity.
Secretary
or
Under
Secretary
approval
for
GRILL
FLAME/ICLP
activities
has
been
granted
on
January
1981,
February
1982
and
September
1983.
Approvals
are
generally
valid
for
one
year.

Discussion.
Paragraph
references
require
an
agency
internal
review
board
to
insure
compliance
with
human
use
guidelines.
Operating
originally
as
an
ACSI-directed
project,
GRILL
FLAME/ICLP
activities
in
the
past
were
reviewed
by
HQ,
DA
components
to
insure
compliance
with
human
use
directives.
With
the
transfer
of
program
management
from
OACSI
to
INSCOM
on
January
1981,
and
the promulgation
of
the
INSCOM
Human
Technology
Review
Board
(HTRB)
on
January
1984,
human
use
review
and
subsequent
approval
action
of
ICLP
is
now
an
INSCOM responsibility.

Recommendations.
Recommend
that
the
ICLP
Protocol
now
be
reviewed
by
the
INSCOM
HTRB
to
determine
if
ICLP
constitues
human
use.
If
that
®
review
results
in
a
determination
that
ICLP
still
