HRPP Manual at TMC Recognitions IRB Staff Mandate Terms of Reference Responsibility institution Meeting Schedule Composition IEC-I IEC- II IEC- III FAQs-ver1.0 SOPs
The IEC is established to formalize and specify Institution's commitment to the promotion of high scientific and ethical standards in patient care, professional education, clinical research, and community interests.
Timely review and the safeguarding of high ethical standards formed the basis of the IRB review process. These are essential for clinical research including student research, investigator initiated research, extramural, intramural funded research and multi-centric multinational research.
Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) became functional in February 2012. TMC-ACTREC Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC III) was established in December 2009.
As per DCGI registration dated May 2013, Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) are renamed as Institutional Ethics Committees (IEC-I,II,III). Institutional Ethics Committees function with the same purpose and SOPs.
The Institutional Ethics Committees (IECs) are constituted by the Director, Tata Memorial Centre (TMC) under authority vested by the Governing Council of the TMC.
The Data Safety Monitoring Subcommittee (DSMSC) is a subcommittee of the IEC, and is essentially responsible for monitoring patient safety and assessing data during the course of the study in a manner that contributes to the scientific and ethical integrity of the study.
DCGI Registration under Rule 122DD of the Drugs & Cosmetic Rules 1945.
IEC has a Federal Wide Assurance (FWA) with the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) through the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP). The assurance number is FWA00006143. This is periodically renewed as required. IEC is also registered with HHS and has IORG Nos. IRB00003414 & IRB00007802 for IEC-I & IEC-II respectively. This is periodically renewed as required.
WHO/The Strategic Initiative for Developing Capacity in Ethical Review (SIDCER) WHO/The Strategic Initiative for Developing Capacity in Ethical Review (SIDCER) in collaboration with the Forum for Ethical Review Committees in Asia and the Western Pacific Region Forum for Ethical Review Committees in Asia and the Western Pacific Region (FERCAP) has awarded recognition to the Tata Memorial Centre Human Ethics Committee (TMC-HEC) in November 2009.
