Beverly Rosen was the West Coast Director at FRI for 25 years.  During that time, the company expanded to include many researchers from the Mississippi River west.  The volume of research grants and grant applications made a West Coast IRB necessary.  Mrs. Rosen was responsible for staffing the IRB and overseeing their meetings.

After retiring from FRI, Mrs. Rosen worked on a research project with one of the FRI investigators for two years.  When that project was over, Mrs. Rosen joined the FRI Board of Directors.

Mrs. Rosen graduated from the University of Michigan in 1946 and worked as a social worker for the next four years in Chicago, Illinois.
