IRB Deadlines & Meeting Dates
Membership
The IRBs are established under the National Research Act of 1974 and function under the Code of Federal Regulations Title 45 Part 46, Title 21 Parts 50 and 56, and other applicable laws and regulations for the protection of human subjects and the Nemours Federal-wide Assurance.
Each Nemours IRB is constituted to comply with the membership requirements of OHRP and the FDA and has sufficient expertise to allow them to review most types of human subjects research.
Members include faculty from a wide variety of clinical disciplines and specialties: legal advisers, nurses, pharmacists, and others to provide needed expertise, as well as community members and non-scientists to represent the viewpoint of the general community and lay audience. The Nemours IRBs include members who can represent the interests of special and vulnerable populations, especially children. The IRB may seek outside consultation to supplement existing expertise on the committee.
