An alternate member(s) may be designated, as needed, for a regular voting member(s). An alternate member may vote only when the regular voting member is not voting.
A primary member of any IRB registered under the same IORG number may serve as an alternate for any comparably qualified member on any other IRB of that institution or organization. Each alternate IRB member who replaces a primary member at any given meeting should have experience, expertise, background, professional competence, and knowledge comparable to that of the primary IRB member whom the alternate will replace.
When an alternate member substitutes for a primary member of the IRB, the combined requirements of § 46.107(a) and 46.108(b) shall remain satisfied.
