Dr. Jaime Browning Appointed Chair of Institutional Research Board

Dr. Jamie Browning has been appointed as Sherman College's new Institutional Review Board (IRB) Chair. Browning is Director of the Reach Out And Recruit (ROAR) program. She has a keen interest in serving the college in the area of research.

"I am happy to serve in the capacity of IRB Chair and look forward to working with my colleagues in the area of research," says Browning.

Other current members of the IRB are Crissy Lewis (Director of Learning Resources), Dr. Jennifer York (Instructor of Clinical Sciences), Dr. Guangming Wu, (Asst. Prof. of Basic Sciences), and Dr. Richard Keen (Non-Affiliated). Dr. Pengju "George" Luo, (Director of Research) serves as a research consultant to the board.

The IRB is established to fulfill the college’s commitment to protecting all subjects of research, regardless of the source of funding and/or the methodology used. The function of the IRB is to assist the investigator in the protection of the rights and welfare of human subjects. Investigators should not bear the sole responsibility for determining the standards for ethical conduct of research involving human subjects. It is necessary for others, who are independent of this research, to share this responsibility. The Sherman College of Chiropractic Institutional Review Board (IRB) is this institution's responsible agency for such review.

For more information about IRB at Sherman College, please feel free to contact Dr. Jaime Browning, at jbrowning@sherman.edu or at extension 220.
