De La Salle University – Dasmariñas

ETHICS REVIEW COMMITTEE

Date : ______________
Dear Mr/Ms ________________________ (name/ sign)

Good day! This is to acknowledge your email to the DLSUD-IERC secretariat.

In compliance with the Philippine Health Research Ethics Board (PHREB), the De La Salle University-
Dasmariñas Ethics Review Committee (DLSU-DERC) is now under the Office of the Assistant Vice
Chancellor for Research (AVCR). Currently, we are implementing a work-from-home (WFH) scheme and
can be reached via dlsud_ierc@dlsud.edu.ph. The DLSU-DERC personnel will be reporting to the office
once a week to ensure quality assistance related to Ethics Review. Our secretariat is accepting application
for Ethics Review from Monday until Friday during office hours (8:00 am - 5:00 pm). Our Review Process
usually take 14 days (2 weeks) depending on the submitted requirements and availability of the members
(minimum of three) assigned to review your Research Proposal.

Likewise, you need to submit ALL the requirements (as PHREB standards) to proceed to the review
process:
1. REVISED Proposal
2. ICF (English and Tagalog- Template c/o ERC secretary)
3. ICAF (Template c/o ERC secretary)
4. Validated Instruments (Checklist, Questionnaire, Scale, Tools)
5. Image or Advertisement of Recruitment process
6. List of sites/sources/links (for large data)

Equally, this is to inform you that based on NEGHHR 2017 (The Research Ethics Review Process Guideline),
the DLSU-DERC can desist in providing Ethics Review Certification for any completed research paper
without undergoing the Ethics Review process.
After the review process, expect an email about the feedback/recommendations you need to address in
your ICF to gain Ethics Approval. Equally, DLSUD and the DLSU-DERC do not have budget allocated for the
Ethics Review operations, thus, please settle the Ethics Review fee amounting to Php 1,750.00 at any
UNION BANK or using UNION BANK MOBILE APPLICATION. Just look for De La Salle University-
Dasmariñas as merchant name, (in the description, kindly indicate fee for Ethics Review).
