The decentralized ethics committee of CIS-Iscte formally began its work on March 1, 2024. Researchers can now submit your requests for ethical assessment of projects/studies to etica.cis@iscte-iul.pt

When submitting your work, please consider the following:
 

1. All researchers affiliated to CIS-iscte (PhDs and doctoral students) can submit requests for consideration to this committee, regardless of funding or type of project. This committee will not evaluate projects/studies submitted by 1st or 2nd cycle students (these requests should be made to the ECSH specialized committee);

2. The request for ethical assessment must be submitted by e-mail to etica.cis@iscte-iul.pt using the forms available on the website of Iscte's ethics board, or at Iscte's intranet page, at least 7 working days before the scheduled meeting (see calendar below);

3. The estimated time limit for issuing decisions is 60 days, counting from the working day following the meeting at which it was distributed.

4. Only cases that have been duly instructed, including all the necessary annexes, can be considered: a) Informed consent; b) Debriefing; c) Sociodemographic questionnaires and other study instruments and materials. If the study processes personal data within the scope of the GDPR, applicants must submit the form on the processing of personal data.
