The objective of ACBR-IEC is intended to ensure a competent review of the scientific and ethical aspects of the project proposals received. It will have a continuing responsibility for regular monitoring for the compliance of the ethics of the approved programs until the same is completed.  The ACBR-IEC will be responsible

1. to ensure that the research protocols wherever applicable, are sound in scientific design, have statistical validity and are conducted according to the parameters of ICMR and CDCCO Schedule Y as well as applicable regulatory requirements.

2. they do not compromise the safety, right and well being of the patients/volunteers participating in the research study.

3. are conducted under the supervision of medical persons with the required qualification and experience/expertise.

4. include the safety of patients/volunteers who, either by themselves or through their legally acceptable representatives have given informed consent for participation in the research study.

ACBR-IEC will review all new research projects and also the ongoing research projects at intervals appropriate to the degree of risk to the study subjects. The committee will maintain a list of projects submitted approved/disapproved and the outcome of each project. The ACBR-IEC would take the utmost effort to protect the data privacy and subject confidentiality for all the projects submitted to it. If visible subject identifiers are present in any document submitted to ACBR-IEC (e.g. study report etc.) the same would be obscured using a black marker pen before circulation to the individual members. The access to data and records of ACBR-IEC would be limited to any governmental or regulatory authorities, members of the ACBR organization and ACBR-IEC as well as any internal or
external auditors
