Program Description
NCEHR
offers an advisory service of educational site visits that
provide opportunities to discuss the process of ethics review.
This service of is part of NCEHR's educational activities
and is not meant to monitor compliance with any particular
policy or to report back to the granting Councils or governmental
authorities on the status of implementation at specific institutions.
The intent is to assist universities, hospitals and other
research institutions in reviewing the strengths and weaknesses
of their current system of ethics review and to suggest ways
of improving the review process.
Should your institution invite NCEHR to conduct
such a visit, we would arrange a site visit by a small team
of surveyors who would meet with representatives of the Research
Ethics Board (REB) that reviews research on human subjects,
administrators, members of the research community, and department
chairpersons.
- All
findings would be communicated in confidence to the
appropriate senior official responsible for research
ethics, to be disseminated and implemented at the
official’s
discretion.
- The visit entails no direct cost to the
institution.
