Each IRB committee includes members of more than one profession. Each IRB committee includes at least one member who represents the perspective of research participants. Each IRB committee includes at least one member whose primary concerns are in scientific areas and at least one member whose primary concerns are in non-scientific areas.
Each IRB must review research in convened meetings at which a majority of the IRB members are present including at least one member whose primary concerns are non-scientific areas (i.e., quorum). No action may be taken unless a quorum is present. IRB actions must be decided by a simple majority vote.
