Animal Research Ethics
Guided by principles outlined in SIDC Animal Research Guidelines and Terms of Use, the SJREC oversees the ethical conduct of researchers engaged in scientific activities involving animals.
SIDC Joint Research Ethics Committee
The SJREC is tasked with ensuring that all activities involving humans and animals at SIDC adhere to our internal research guidelines and terms of use.
All animal and human research activities conducted under SIDC must adhere to ethical standards, legal requirements, and policies pertaining to animal and human welfare, respectively. The SJREC assesses research proposals, grants approvals, and monitors the progress of authorised animal and human research projects. Furthermore, it offers guidance to researchers and institutions, ensuring the ethical treatment of animals and humans in scientific and educational pursuits.

SJREC evaluates research proposals, grants approvals, and provides ongoing monitoring to uphold ethical principles throughout the lifecycle of projects. Additionally, it offers guidance and support to researchers and institutions, fostering responsible and humane scientific inquiry at the intersection of animal and human research.
