Most research involving the use of human anatomical material from a living individual requires IRB approval. The Office of Regulatory Affairs should be contacted prior to initiating any research using tissue from living individuals. Refer to the [https://net.unmc.edu/rss/auth.php UNMC Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects in Research] Studies and UNMC Policy No. 8013, [https://wiki.unmc.edu/index.php/Human_Tissue_Use_and_Transfer Human Tissue Use and Transfer]. Research on whole body donors does not require IRB approval; however, the IRB, does serve as the privacy board for the institution if the researcher would receive protected health information about the deceased.

==Background==
The Uniform Anatomical Gift Act regulates the donation of dead bodies or parts of bodies for transplantation, education and research. There are three types of anatomical gifts: tissue donation including blood, organ donation and whole body donation. The Nebraska State Anatomical Board, located at UNMC, is responsible for the Body Donation Program for the State of Nebraska. UNMC shall follow guidelines set by the Nebraska State Anatomical Board for the use of human anatomical material.
iEXCEL will obtain human anatomical material, for training sessions (not involving University of Nebraska Medical Center students) through vendors approved by the iEXCEL Human Anatomical Tissue Review Committee and that have signed the [https://www.unmc.edu/iexcel/_documents/anatomical-tissue-policies/iexcel-tissue-procurement-standards-of-practice-agreement.pdf iEXCEL Tissue Procurement Standards of Practice Agreement].<br />
The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) Bloodborne Pathogen Standard (BBP) specifies precautions that shall be observed to prevent contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials. Precautions include use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and implementing engineering and work practice controls. Staff shall follow BBP standards when handling human anatomical material.
