The most appropriate choice would be to recruit a broad range of experts from the university representing diverse fields of research with one community member included. This would ensure a varied group of individuals with different perspectives and expertise to review and approve all research conducted by the university's faculty and students. Moreover, involving a community member would ensure that the IRB reflects the ethical and moral obligations to society, aside from academic considerations.
