The functions of the committee are: (1) to develop, recommend, and implement guidelines on the ethical review of research protocols;
(2) to ensure satisfactory review of submitted research protocols by following standard operating procedures;
(3) to issue ethics clearance to approved research protocols;
(4) to ensure the protection of the rights and the well-being and safety of human participants in research;
(5) to ensure the protection of the integrity of the scientific data; and
(6) to address and act on concerns of research participants and other stakeholders. Only complete submissions directed to the committee shall be accepted and reviewed by the SMCTI-REC. The SMCTI-REC shall ensure that all research proposals will comply with the ethical and scientific standards in conducting research involving human participants.
