Perception of Medicine and Nursing academics regarding research ethics committee’s importance

Abstract

"As undergraduate and graduate students’ advisors in a public university, as well as members of research ethics committees involving human beings, we experienced academic’s anguish at the time of submission of research projects to the committee. These feelings, often, attributed to possible delay in research processing, to lack of knowledge and guidance regarding filling the protocol to be submitted, in addition to doubts and lack of knowledge over ethical aspects related to research involving human beings. Considering the frequency of such situations, interest in knowing academic’s perception emerged in regarding CEP performance and role, as well as to check major feelings awaken at the research project submission.
