Hello all:

I have a questions which I believe has been posted and responded to on the
list before. However, I'm unable to search the archives at HRINET for some
reason or another...

What is the exact status of research compliance officers at your
institutions in relation to the IRB?

In particular,  I'm interested in:

Are they voting members of the IRB?
Are they ex-officio non-voting members?
Are they ex-officio voting members?
...any other combinations you can think of?

I suspect from what I recall seeing in the past, the actual
title/responsibilities may make a difference too--research compliance
officer, coordinator, administrator, etc; and how many full-time/part-time
positions make up the IRB administrative staff.

Here at BGSU we have 1 full-time Director of Compliance working with both
human subjects and animal care and use. This individual is not part of the
Sponsored Research Office.

Thanks in advance for any insight/advice.

Tom
