  1. Considering full research proposals\/full thesis proposals and reviewing the research procedure, with emphasis on the steps and methods used in collecting information from humans and the ethics in research involving human subjects as well as the researcher\u2019s readiness to conduct research projects submitted to the Committee.<\/li>
  2. Reviewing, at the appropriate time and at least once a year, the progress of the research and risks to the research sampling population\/participants. The Committee also has the right to observe the consent process involving the research sampling population\/ participants as well as other processes related to their rights and welfare.<\/li>

  3. Imposing suspension, withdrawal or termination on the research project in cases where it might cause more risk to the research sampling population\/participants than had been expected or in cases where the research fails to comply with the ethical principles of research involving human subjects or fails to observe those principles in a consistent manner. Such a decision has to be made by the consent of a full board meeting of the Research Ethics Review Committee and evidence of this consent must be recorded in writing.<\/p><\/li>
