INTRODUCTION TO IREC<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n
\n

International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) Research Ethics Committee (IREC) is a body responsible for ensuring the ethical integrity of research involving human participants conducted at the university. First established in 2004\n as the Kulliyah of Medicine Ethics Committee overseeing exclusively medical research, the university decided to rename it to IREC in February 2012 to reflect its role as the ethics committee to represent the university and this was\n endorsed by the highest authority of the institution. IREC\u2019s mandate, on behalf of the University, is to protect the rights and welfare of every human participant.<\/p>\n

I urge you\u2019ll to approach your research endeavours with unwavering integrity and empathy. Prioritize informed consent, confidentiality, and respect for cultural nuances in a multicultural society like ours in every step of your work.\n Our committee stands ready to provide guidance, support, and ethical insights whenever needed.<\/p>\n

IREC\u2019s ultimate goal is to promote high ethical standards in research within IIUM community and the Malaysian scientific community at large.\n
