📍Announcement!
The Palawan State University Research Ethics Review Committee (PSU RERC) is temporarily placing a moratorium on the acceptance of new research ethics applications until further notice.
This is due to the expiration of our Level 1 Accreditation granted by the Philippine Health Research Ethics Board (PHREB). The committee is currently complying with the Level 2 accreditation requirements. During this period, the PSU RERC will not accept new review applications until the Level 2 accreditation is granted.
The researchers are advised to inquire and seek ethical approval from other accredited RECs. We have attached below the link for the list of the accredited RECs that you may inquire about and seek ethical approval.
