Quorum: More that half of the voting IRB members (ex. 13/ 2) = 6.5, or 7 members), including at least one member whose primary concerns are in nonscientific areas and at least one physician member when reviewing studies of FDA-regulated articles. Review of proposed research at convened IRB meetings requires a quorum. (HSP#009)
