IEC and IRC

INSTITUTIONAL ETHICS COMMITTEE and INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH COMMITTEE - HIMS, HASSAN

  • Background
    • The Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC) of the Hassan Institute of Medical Sciences, Hassan, Karnataka was established in 2008 to provide independent guidance, advice, and decision on health research or other specific research protocols involving human subjects. IEC works in tandem with the Institutional Research Committee (IRC) that scrutinizes the research methodology of submitted proposals.
  • Objective:
    • To ensure the protection of the rights, safety and well-being of human subjects involved in research and in clinical trials.
    • To review, and approve the research protocols and to monitor them for their ethical conduct.
    • To create a culture conducive to ethical research.
    • To promote the quality of research in the institute
    • To analyze and forward adverse drug reactions to ADR registry.
  • Scope:
    • HIMS IEC shall review and approve the protocols submitted by researchers of HIMS, Hassan and its affiliated institutions.
    • Proposals from institutions other than HIMS: Proposals from institutions other than HIMS shall be reviewed by IEC; provided they are submitted through the proper channel and researchers abide by the regulations of HIMS IEC.
  • Permissions:
    • HIMS IEC is registered with relevant regulatory authorities like the National Ethics Committee Registry for Biomedical and Health Research (NECRBHR) of ICMR for reviewing Academic biomedical and health research and with CDSCO for investigator-initiated drug, device trials and clinical trials under the ambit of Drugs and Cosmetics Act.
  • Composition
    • IEC will have both scientists and non-scientists who are appointed by the Director. At least half of the IEC strength will be of non-institutional members. To function as an independent committee in its reflection, advice, and decision, the decision-making authorities will not be members of the IEC; however, for the smooth functioning of the EC, all the necessary infrastructure and facilities will be provided by the Head of the institution.
