VANV Project Records, 2010-2018 (inclusive): Dataset

The Vernacular Archive of Normal Volunteers (VANV), 1940-2018 (inclusive) is a collection of oral histories, associated archival documents, and project records created and collected by Laura Jeanine Morris Stark (born 1975) to explore the lives of the first “normal control” research subjects at the Clinical Center of the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland who were recruited through NIH’s Normal Volunteer Patient Program. Dataset consists of administrative project records generated by Laura Stark in the course of her work on VANV. Records include grant proposals, institutional review board (IRB) documents, blank copies of release and authorization forms, interview questions and instruments, a transcription guide and protocol, job descriptions and CVs for VANV research staff, and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request correspondence. The records obtained via Stark’s FOIA request may be found in the "NIH Normal Volunteer Patient Program Records, 1954-2002" dataset.
