The STC established in 1982 is charged with the scientific evaluation of all research protocols and amendments proposed at NMIMR prior to IRB approval and study initiation. Its reviews encompass an assessment of the scientific rationale and merit of a proposed study in addition to the protocol design, safety considerations and bio statistical analysis to determine if high quality and appropriate designs are being used to address the study question(s). It also reviews informed consent documents to assess their scientific accuracy and ensure that participants are clearly informed of risks, side effects and any alternative treatments.
The STC is chaired by the Director of the institute and has membership comprising selected professors, four departmental Heads and a representative each from the University of Ghana Institute for Statistical Social and Economic Research (ISSER), School of Medicine and Dentistry and the department of Biochemistry. The Institute‘s Administrator, and the coordinator, who is a Research Development Officer provide administrative support.
