Egypt has established many functioning Research Ethics Committees (RECs) during the last decade. This network has been established to enhance the review of research and to help investigators and their research staff submit their proposals.

An REC network is believed to facilitate more uniform ethical review and simplify REC procedures. More information will be available in the next few months as we try to enhance this website.

Contact us to list your REC in the directory.
