Current Challenges in Research Ethics Application

Lack of clarity

  • When is an Institutional Review Board (IRB) review and approval needed?

Lack of understanding of ethics application

  • Unfamiliarity with IRB requirements or application process
  • Unfamiliarity with ethics principles and research regulations that may apply

Resource constraints

  • Time constraint - Lack of understanding and IRB requirements will prolong IRB approval timeline
  • Manpower constraint – Effort needed to understand all requirements and to follow-up with IRB query and answer during the entire review process
  • Funding constraint – Long review and approval timeline will eat into grant approval period
