Do you know someone who might be interested in volunteering as an unaffiliated member for our IRB? Unaffiliated members are key to the success of the IRB and are one of 3 “required” members by the regulations, serving an important role in representing community interests and viewpoints. They are individuals who are not, and whose immediate family members are not, current UW employees or students. Unaffiliated members do not need to have research experience or have a scientific background. Such volunteers will serve on one IRB panel per month and have the opportunity to participate in interesting and critical work that serves the public good. Interested individuals can be directed to IRBdirector@wisc.edu.
