Investigators intending to use or release any identifiable health information to others (e.g., sponsors, other investigators, collaborators) in connection with the research must indicate this in the IRB application.

- Relates to the past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition of an individual; the provision of healthcare to an individual; or the past, present, or future payment for the provision of healthcare to an individual.
