What
is an Institutional Review Board?
Responsibility
The WMREF Institutional Review Board (IRB) has been established
in accordance with federal law to ensure that human subjects participating
in research activities sponsored by or involving a contracting hospital,
clinic, or physician's office are protected from undue risks or
deprivation of personal rights and dignity. An IRB has the ultimate
responsibility to review human subject research and the authority
to approve, require modification in, or disapprove such research,
unless the activity has specifically been exempted from IRB review.
Dr.
James E. Delmore currently serves as Chair of the WMREF IRB. Dr.
Ginger French serves as IRB Director. Members of the WMREF IRB serve
as unpaid volunteers.
