TAGS: TBIO OSCI KSCA GY JM
SUBJECT: JAMAICA CLEARS ON NIH PROPOSED RESEARCH PROJECT

REF: STATE 155995

From the standpoint of potential implications for U.S.
foreign policy concerns, Post can determine no difficulties
with proposed NIH award of research project entitled Family
Connections Across Generations and Nations. Post hopes that
survey results will be shared with USAID Kingston's Health
and Education Programs and suggests that researchers should
ensure that local partners are involved in learning of study
outcomes.

Pending human subject approval, Post clears on the study and
looks forward to receiving information from Domestic
Principal Investigator James Jackson, of the University of
Michigan at Ann Arbor.
