Initial Application Procedure

Follow this link for all initial applications to conduct research in Uganda.  The required registration fee should accompany each application.

Application for Annual Review (Renewal) of Research Activity – REC FORM 102

It is the policy of the REC (Research and Ethics committee) that in the continuing review of ongoing research, the entire study will be reviewed to ensure the continued protection of the rights and welfare of the human participants.

The REC follows, at minimum, the regulations set forth in the CIOMS Guidelines as the criteria for continuing review. The Continuing Review process must be no less stringent than the initial review.

The Principal Investigator is responsible for timely submission of a continuing review application to prevent any lapse in REC approval. REC regulations do not provide for exceptions to the requirement for continuing review.

Therefore, failure by the Principal Investigator to ensure timely review is a serious matter that may lead to suspension or withdrawal of approval. NO EXTENSIONS CAN BE GRANTED.
