Welcome to the E-Portal of the National Health Research Ethics Committee. Here, you are able to submit your application for ethics review for research studies you wish to conduct in more than three sites in Nigeria or for Phase I clinical trials (these studies can only be approved by NHREC). For details of the different studies/other conditions under which you can submit your protocol for review by NHREC, please refer to sections C and E of the National Code for Health Research Ethics. You can read or download the Code or get more information on other guidelines and ethics committees in Nigeria from our website: http://www.nhrec.net. You can also contact the NHREC Deskofficer for any enquiries at: deskofficer@nhrec.net
