As long as the Chair recuses her/himself from voting on the protocols on which they participate, I don't believe there is a problem.

Greetings.  I have heard it said at several workshops at NCURA that an individual involved with the Research/Sponsored Program Office cannot act as Chair of the institution's IRB because this poses a conflict of interest. I cannot, however, find this issue addressed specifically in the documents at the DHHS, OHRP site. Does anyone have any insight into this issue, or can you direct me to a document that spells this out?
