Institutional Review Board Information
Stanford University's IRB is called "Administrative Panels on Human Subjects in Medical Research." Stanford has three such panels, each of which meets 11 times a year. Panel A, for example, has 10 voting members: six faculty physicians, a nurse, a pharmacist, a minister, and a graduate student. There are 8 alternate voting members. Non-voting members include 4 administrators, one staff member, and a legal counsel.
The involvement of human subjects in research is not permitted until an appropriate IRB has reviewed and approved the research protocol and informed consent has been obtained from each human subject of Biomedical and Behavioral Research.
