Research Mission & Scope
Enable safe, ethical, and methodologically sound research across all specialties—spanning clinical trials, observational studies, quality improvement, medical education, and public health.
RESEARCH & PUBLICATIONS
Academic Affairs — Research Unit promotes high-quality clinical and educational research that improves patient outcomes
and advances healthcare practice. We support investigators with ethics approval, study design, data management, and
manuscript preparation to increase the visibility and impact of EBGH research output.
Ethics & IRB / REC
All human-subject research must be approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB/REC) prior to data collection. The unit provides templates for protocols, consent forms, and data-privacy plans, and guides investigators through the submission and review timeline.
- Determine study route (Exempt / Expedited / Full Board).
- Prepare consent/assent, data security, and adverse-event plans.
- Register clinical trials where applicable.
Authorship & Integrity
EBGH follows ICMJE authorship criteria and COPE guidance. Studies undergo similarity checks and require disclosure of funding and conflicts of interest. Use ORCID for author identification and ensure raw data are available upon reasonable request per policy.
Publication Process
- Study design consultation and statistical planning.
- Data collection & analysis with secure REDCap / validated tools.
- Manuscript drafting, journal selection, cover letters, and responses to reviewers.
- Archiving accepted manuscripts in the institutional repository.
How to Collaborate
Email the Research Unit with a short concept (background, objectives, methods, team, and timeline). We will schedule a scoping meeting to map resources, approvals, and deliverables.
