Dr. Hurdle has stepped down as IRB Chair in order to prepare for his upcoming visiting scholar’s fellowship at the NIH. If you have an IRB matter that requires the attention of the Chair, such as reporting a deviation or a study participant fatality, please contact Susan Howe, IRB Compliance Administrator. The IRB would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Hurdle for his work over the past 14 months, and we wish him well in his work in the Department of Biomedical Informative and at the NIH.
