Membership/Center Representatives

The IRB is composed of voting members representing each of the university’s colleges or centers. Members are appointed by the Vice-President of Research, Planning, and Governmental Affairs to staggered three year terms based on recommendation by their respective college/center. Members have varying professional, racial, ethnic and cultural differences. The membership is also diverse with respect to gender. IRB Members have knowledge of the federal regulations, ethical conduct, and are sensitivite to community attitudes. They include:

  • The Chair (selected from the membership from centers/colleges)
  • Vice-Chair and Co-Vice Chairs (selected from the membership from centers/colleges)
  • One member from each center/college, preferably a full-time faculty member, and their duly appointed alternates
  • Five additional members from the University and/or the wider community. The additional University members will generally be appointed from centers/colleges that are more research-intensive.

The board also has non-voting members which include the Executive Director of the Office of Grants and Contracts, Vice President for Legal Affairs, the IRB Immediate Past Chair, and the IRB Administrator who serve as ex-officio to the Board.

In addition to the voting members, each center/college is requested to have at least one alternate that may review and vote at meetings of the Board when the Center Representative is unavailable.

A quorum is defined as a majority of voting members (one more than half of the board). A quorum must be present for the board to review and vote on protocols.

Individuals are encouraged to review the IRB membership list and to contact their Center Representative with any questions related to the IRB process. The principal investigator submits his or her proposal to the IRB center representative. This individual will determine the type of review required for the protocol.
