The IRB is currently comprised of 14 full members with vote, two alternate members, and two ex officio members without vote. At least one full member is not affiliated with the university in any other capacity. The remaining full members represent four constituent college faculties of the university (Arts and Sciences, Education, Health Professions, and Optometry; College of Business is not required to serve on the IRB at this time), and the University Library. Full members are elected to staggered terms of three years, with the allowance for multiple terms. Ex officio members are the Research Integrity and Compliance Officer and the Liaison to 91±¬ÁÏ University, typically the Provost.
Occasionally, the IRB may invite individuals with competence in special areas to assist in the review of issues which require expertise beyond, or in addition to, that available on the IRB. However, these individuals may not vote with the IRB.
