If the voluntary faculty members are conducting industry-sponsored trials (eg, drug or device studies) then the IRB can bill the sponsor (and they will pay!). If the docs are conducting original research, then that's great and I would suggest you not charge them because it increases the academic standing of your adjunct faculty.
Either way, the IRB will have to actually check out the doctors' offices to make sure that they adequate facilities for resuscitation, storing research data, respecting participants' privacy, etc. Also, their staffs will have to have appropriate training in conduct of research, applicable regs, and human research protections.
