This included investigations that used biomedical and physical techniques as well as therapeutic, altercation of environment, diet and daily routine, observation, administrations of questionnaires and tests, and review of records. The Committee went through two name changes during its duration. The first name was Committee on Policies and Procedures Governing Investigation Involving Human Subjects, which was changed in 1979 to Committee on the Use of Human Subjects for Research.
