FSW affiliated IRB members serve a 3-year term based on the recommendation of their respective Dean. A member can serve longer if no replacement has been recommended at the end of term. Non-FSW affiliated IRB members are appointed by the Human Subjects Administrator with approval from the current IRB and also serve a 3-yr term. The chairperson is selected by the current FSW IRB. The FSW IRB will always include an Academic Dean, a faculty representative from the School of Pure & Applied Sciences, one from the School of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, one from the School of Health Professions, one non-FSW affiliated member, and one non-voting representative from the College's General Counsel Office, and may at times include additional individuals with proper expertise in specific areas associated with a given research submission to convene with the IRB. IRB membership does not exceed 10 members and does maintain alternates in the event absences at a convening would alter the above representation.
