Hi everyone, I think a similar question was recently raised, but I am curious about (1) whether your institution has an active IRB and (2) how its members are selected. There is some concern that our school's IRB are recommended by our deans, directors, and leaders of our constituency groups (i.e., the presidents of our staff and faculty associations) and ultimately appointed by our College President. We'd like to know how other schools identify their IRB members.
Thanks very much! Julie Julie A. Penley, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Psychology El Paso Community College PO Box 20500 El Paso, TX 79998-0500 Office phone: (915) 831-3210 Department fax: (915) 831-2324 ---
