Seattle University IRB Board and Staff
In addition to complying with Federal regulations on IRB Composition, the SU IRB Board reflects the combined expertise needed to review the various types of research protocols submitted. Our non-scientific member and non-affiliated member help represent the views of non-researchers and the local community. IRB members are appointed for rotating, 1- to 3-year terms by the Provost after consultation with the IRB Chair and the Director of Research Oversight.
