What is the CEIC of Cantabria?
What type of studies does the CEIC have to evaluate?
All clinical research projects that include the handling of patients, their clinical data or their biological samples, for example clinical trials, observational studies, biomedical research projects.
Can I submit an article for IRB/IEC assessment?
Generally speaking, an article reflects the work previously carried out in a project, so it should not be the article that is submitted for assessment, but the project. IRB/IEC assessment must take place BEFORE the research project is carried out.
How and when should a study be submitted for IRB/IEC assessment? There are two different cases:
What are the requirements? The documentary requirements vary according to the type of study being submitted. There are several possibilities:

What can I do if I need a reply urgently or if the deadline has passed and I have not received a reply?
If for any reason the applicant urgently needs a response from the CEIC, he/she can request a certificate of receipt which acts as an acknowledgement that the CEIC of Cantabria has received the project and will proceed with its evaluation.
