Ethical Board

Ethical Board

At SRD, our Ethical Board is the cornerstone of our commitment to responsible research, ensuring every study adheres to the highest ethical standards while safeguarding the rights, dignity, and welfare of research participants. Our review process begins with the submission of detailed proposals, which are then subjected to an initial screening to flag potential ethical issues. This is followed by an in-depth evaluation, where our experts thoroughly assess the proposal to confirm its alignment with established ethical guidelines.

After the comprehensive review, researchers receive detailed feedback to make the necessary revisions, ensuring all ethical considerations are fully addressed. Finally, once the proposal meets all requirements, it is granted final approval, and the project is continuously monitored to maintain ongoing compliance with ethical standards.

Roles & Responsibilities

Our Ethical Board is committed to upholding research integrity through rigorous evaluations and continuous oversight.

1. Rigorous Proposal Evaluation

Every research proposal is meticulously reviewed to assess ethical considerations, including informed consent, risk management, and data privacy, ensuring full compliance with established standards.

2. Continuous Oversight

The board actively monitors ongoing projects to promptly identify and address any emerging ethical issues, maintaining integrity throughout the research lifecycle.

3. Guidance & Feedback:

By engaging closely with researchers, the board offers actionable insights and constructive recommendations that refine methodologies and reinforce ethical practices at every stage.

4. Policy Development & Best Practices:

Keeping abreast of the latest ethical advancements, the board helps develop robust policies and protocols, ensuring our research continually meets evolving ethical benchmarks.

5. Conflict Resolution & Mediation:

The board intervenes in any disputes or ethical conflicts during research, facilitating fair and transparent resolution to maintain trust and accountability.

6. Training & Capacity Building:

Organizing regular workshops and training sessions, the board equips researchers with the latest knowledge on ethical standards and emerging best practices, fostering a culture of continuous learning.

7. Transparency & Reporting:

Detailed records of reviews, decisions, and feedback are maintained to ensure the ethical oversight process is fully transparent and accountable for both internal and external stakeholders.
