School of Medicine at UCONN Health Center is currently picking up 20% of IRB
Chair's salary in order to reflect the level of effort he is devoting to IRB
responsibilities.  Since he is a surgeon, this is a significant commitment.
This is a new policy, reflecting a reorganization which has placed the IRB
within a clinical trials office, under the School of Medicine.

> The Chair of our IRB, a faculty member, has requested re-assigned

> deserves it, but our administration wants to know how many other
> institutions give a course reduction for chairing IRB or IACUC.

> If you do, is it because you have an exceptionally large volume?

> Could you please let me know if you do or do not offer re-assigned

> Thanks for your input!
