3 Conduct & Expectation of IRB Members IRB Member Service is voluntary and important to the success of the IRB Committees here at MCW/FH. Complete and maintain IRB CITI Training (group 3) and complete annual COI IRB Member disclosure. IRB Members are expected to attend 75% of convened meetings – Each Committee has approx. 12-16 members which place quorum around 7-9 to conduct the business of the meeting. IRB Members need to arrive on-time – IRB Meetings frequently start with Continuing Education and cover topics identified by IRB Committees, HRPP Office to further provide guidance or refresher of expectation & practice.

4 Conduct & Expectation of IRB Members IRB Members who are assigned to review a submission must complete & upload their checklist at least 24 hours prior to the meeting. – By uploading a completed checklist, this allows the IRB C2 to address or communicate with the study team any issue as identified by the IRB reviewers. – If reviewers have questions, please contact either the C2 or the Study team

5 Conduct & Expectation of IRB Members - Motions Primary Reviewers when presenting their review should end with a proposed motion. This will allow discussion to move forward in the meeting. – Ex. for CPR: I recommend this CPR & project be approved > for 1 year > – Ex. for AME: I recommend this amendment be approved > – Ex. for new Protocol: (after hearing secondary reviewer’s report): I recommend this project be > for >. – Ex for RE: I recommend this RE is > In addition I believe this event > > the criteria for >

6 Conduct & Expectations for IRB Members – Voting Options Voting Options for motions – Yea/In favor: This means you are in favor of the motion as presented – Nay/Opposed: This means you are against the motion as presented – Abstain: You do not have enough information to vote on the motion such as an unanswered question. This should be rare as those questions should be brought up during the discussion of the motion. If you are arriving late – see Not Participating – Recuse: Those members who have a COI or are absent during a significant portion of the meeting and do not enough information to weigh-in on the vote. – Not Participating: This is an administrative action when you arrive late or are absent during a significant portion of the meeting and do not enough information to weigh-in on the vote.

7 Conduct & Expectations for IRB Members – Voting Options What if I don’t agree with the motion being made? – If you have voiced your concerns, and questions and still you do not agree with the proposed motion, Vote “Nay” or “all those opposed”. It is ok to have split votes on the Committees. – It is not appropriate to vote as “Abstain”, if you do not agree with a motion as it has been made. Only if you do not have enough information in either support or against the motion would abstaining be OK

8 Conduct & Expectations for IRB Members – Annual Evaluations IRB Members will be evaluated on an annual basis (Jan-Dec) Evaluations will solicit comments from the IRB C2 along with the IRB Chair The comments along with information from the Research Compliance Audits will be tallied together for review by the HRPP Director and recommendations made.
