Dear Bob,

Regulatory compliance is supported by our University through the Office of Grants and Contracts.  Our budget comes from both our Foundation (post award) and the State of CA (we are a State University).  I am the Regulatory Compliance Coordinator and support both the IRB and IACUC along with a number of other duties.  A large portion of my job duties are dedicated to supporting the IRB Chair with all of the administrative needs that the IRB  may have during the year.  I can't see any other way that an institution would be successful in regulatory compliance without such a position.  However, in the 23 universities in our CA statewide system, there are only a few people who fill a position like mine.  Many of them have someone in the Grants and Contracts office process grants AND support some of the work for the IRB, but the Chairs are charged with much of the work themselves.... and that leads to other points of contention that would make this email message extremely lengthy :-).

If you are interested in a few job descriptions for our system, I think I could find them, if you think they will help you with your decision - just let me know.

Regards,
Lori Jennex, M.A.
