Other: Maintaining the IRB Insider Blog.
One of the responsibilities of the IRB Chair/Administrator is preparing and maintaining the IRB Insider Blog.
The IRB Insider Blog was initiated with the assistance of Andrew Bell, an Academic Technology Consultant of the University of Richmond Teaching, Learning & Technology Instructional Specialists group.
