Our institute is considering providing non-institute affiliated IRB members
with an honorarium.

There have been several interesting law reviews articles on this very
subject.  Right now there have been no identified conflict of interest
issues in this area, but the law review articles speculate that there will
soon be new regulations or case law that will specifically address this.

I recommend the following article, which specifically addresses
compensation of IRB members.  1997 Trustees of Boston University Boston
University Journal of Science
and Technology Law,  3 B.U. J. SCI. & TECH. L. 10,  18151 words,  NOTE:
