methods that the IRB will use in performing its functions; the research 
protocols, informed consent documents, progress reports, and reports of

number of votes on each decision for, against, and abstaining, the 
basis for requiring changes in or disapproving research; records of 
continuing review activities; copies of all correspondence between 
investigators and the IRB; statement of significant new findings 
provided to subjects of the research; and a list of IRB members by 
name, showing each member's earned degrees, representative capacity, 
and experience in sufficient detail to describe each member's 
contributions to the IRB's deliberations, and any employment 
relationship between each member and the IRB's institution. This 
information is used by FDA in conducting audit inspections of IRBs to 
determine whether IRBs and clinical investigators are providing 
adequate protections to human subjects participating in clinical 
research.
