It also includes research con-ducted, supported, or otherwise subject to regulation by the federal govern-ment outside the United States.

In these circumstances, if a department or agency head determines that the proce-dures prescribed by the institution af-ford protections that are at least equivalent to those provided in this

33、 policy, the department or agency head may approve the substitution of the foreign procedures in lieu of the proce-dural requirements provided in this policy.
