Dear Colleagues,
After seven years serving as the Chair for the Institutional Review Board (IRB), David Moffet is stepping down from the committee. Under his leadership, the IRB has enhanced and extended customized outreach opportunities to the LMU community; assured seamless continuity in all IRB operations, even improving protocol turnover times throughout the COVID-19 pandemic; upgraded and modernized the Single IRB process; and ensured the smooth and successful transition for LMU’s research community with the adoption of the major updates to the Common Rule (under the Federal Register). Please join me in thanking Dr. Moffet for his excellent service as chair.
On May 16, 2023, Stephen Heller will become the new chair for the IRB. Dr. Heller is an Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry. He comes to the IRB with extensive experience in clinical trials and has served as a member of the IRB committee for the last six years. We look forward to his leadership. You can find contact information and updated IRB forms on this website.
In appreciation,
Kat Weaver
Vice Provost for Research, Professional Development, and Online Learning
