• When the specimens and/or data were collected under an NIH IRB approved protocol, the investigator must comply with the terms in the original consent form regarding sharing and future research.
• When the transfer will result in the NIH investigator conducting new human subjects research (e.g., return of identifiable results to the NIH investigator or he or she will be conducting analysis of identifiable specimens or data), prospective IRB approval of the research activity is required.

If the investigator has questions or is unable to attest to the required conditions in the form, the investigator should email julie.eiserman@nih.gov and cc: the NIH Office of IRBO (IRB@od.nih.gov) with an explanation of the situation and copies of the consent forms, if when applicable.
