Does your institution have a representative from the Sponsored Program
Office as a regular member of the Institutional Board; and if so, are
they a voting or non-voting member?  If your institution excludes
members of the Sponsored Programs Office from participation (or
presence) in the IRB, can you provide the explanation for that policy
(i.e., regulatory, statutory, or institutional policy)?  Thank you.
