Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC)


Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC), also referred to as, Institutional Scientific Review Board (ISRB) in many countries and situations, serves as an independent representative and competent body to review, evaluate and decide on the scientific and ethical merits of research proposals.The major responsibility of IECs is to protect the rights, safety and well-being of the research participants. The IECs conducts regular meetings for reviewing the research proposals and give suggestions to the investigators to make their research ethical before approving them. All research projects in humans should get the approval of any one of the IECs before starting their study.
