Research ethics commission
The University of Castilla-La Mancha must ensure that the legislation in force on research ethics is observed. For this purpose and to clarify the different suppositions and regulations which must be common knowledge for its researchers, it has established a Research Ethics Commission. The fundamental mission of this Commission is to structure, inform and monitor if professional ethics regulations for scientific research are observed.
When there are mandatory reports to assess research projects, the different Committees will, at least one week before the deadline for receiving applications, receive a summarized protocol which will enable a preliminary report to be drawn up by this deadline.
Before the time ends between the end of the call and its resolution, the pertinent Committee will make an assessment by means of a full protocol to adapt the project to the ethical rules and will have prepared a final report , which will be passed on to the Research Ethics Commission which will be mandatory for acceptance of the project, that is, for obtaining the signature of the legal representative of the UCLM, in this case the Vice-chancellor´s office for Research.
Monitoring and control of the professional ethics set whilst various projects are carried out will be the duty of the corresponding Committee.
The Committees must communicate the bioethics problem and show the university community the need to take responsibility for disclosing new knowledge and its results. To carry out this duty, it must ensure that the laws, regulations and reports that are published on research ethics are communicated correctly.
