Isle of Man Research Ethics Committee

The Isle of Man Research Ethics Committee (IOMREC) provides independent advice to the Department of Health and Social Care, participants, researchers, sponsors, employers, care organisations and professionals on the extent to which proposals for research studies comply with recognised ethical standards.

The purpose of the Committee is to review any proposed health and social care research involving human participants, tissue or data to protect the dignity, rights, safety and wellbeing of all actual or potential research participants.

Procedures

The procedures for gaining ethical approval for health and social care research on the Isle of Man are currently under review. Whilst this review is ongoing, should you require advice about submitting a research proposal please contact the Dr Becky Rowley, on +44 1624 642624 or Rebecca.rowley@gov.im.

If you wish to receive an application form to submit a proposal to the IOMREC, please email your request to research.dhsc@gov.im.
