The ethics review process typically takes 2-4 weeks for standard applications. Expedited reviews for minimal-risk research can be completed within 1-2 weeks. Complex applications involving vulnerable populations or sensitive topics may require 6-8 weeks. Our platform provides real-time tracking so you can monitor your application status throughout the process.

To submit an application, log into the platform and complete the online application form. You'll need to provide detailed information about your research methodology, participant recruitment, informed consent procedures, data management, and potential risks/benefits. Upload supporting documents including consent forms, recruitment materials, and data collection instruments. The system will guide you through each section and validate your responses in real-time.

If your application is not approved, you'll receive detailed feedback explaining the concerns and required modifications. Common issues include insufficient risk assessment, unclear consent procedures, or inadequate participant protection measures. You can revise your application based on the feedback and resubmit. Our platform maintains a complete audit trail of all communications and revisions for transparency and compliance.
