Reviewing research under BMRC and WHO ethical guidelines

Institutional Review Board of CMRD

We review research involving people and animals before it begins, so that every participant is protected. Submit your study to us for ethical clearance.

About the IRB

An independent board that protects research participants

The IRB reviews the scientific and ethical side of every study, approves it when it is safe and sound, and monitors it until it ends. Doctors, scientists, a legal expert and community members review each study together.
