Submission of Proposal: Researchers submit a detailed research proposal, including study objectives, methodology, and ethical considerations. li> Initial Review: The ERB conducts an initial review to ensure the proposal is complete and clear. Full Review: The board performs a thorough evaluation of the proposal, focusing on ethical concerns, potential risks, and benefits. Decision: The ERB decides to approve, conditionally approve, or reject the proposal. Feedback is provided to the researchers. Ongoing Monitoring: Approved studies are subject to continuous oversight to ensure ongoing compliance with ethical standards.
