Columbia's IRB consists of seven voting members appointed by the Provost. The membership includes at least one member with a scientific backgroud, and at least one nonscientist. Three members are chosen from the full-time faculty; three members are selected from staff and administration. One member is chosen from outside Columbia College Chicago and maintains no formal affiliation with the College. Members serve for three-year terms, which are staggered. These terms are renewable. The Assistant to the Associate Vice President for Academic Research and Dean of the Library, Michelle Ferguson, maintains all records, documentation, and assurance information and is the initial point of contact for IRB information and assistance.
