Dear All,
I would like to inform you of the following new development at WHO.
The Secretariat for SCRIHS has now been located in the Department of
Research Policy and Cooperation (RPC) in the Evidence and Information for
Policy Cluster (EIP) with effect from 1st November 2002.
SCRIHS or the Secretariat Committee on Research Involving Human Subjects is
the WHO Committee with the responsibility for reviewing the ethical aspects
of proposals for research involving human subjects that are funded or
otherwise supported through WHO.
The new Chair of the Committee - David Griffin is from the Reproductive
Health and Research Department (RHR) and the Secretary is Tikki Pang (RPC).
I will be assisting Tikki in running the Secretariat functions. The
membership of SCRIHS has been renewed and the list of members is available
as also the new terms of reference for the Committee.
I think this will be of interest to many of you.
