RESUMO
Unanticipated questions arose when starting an institutional research ethics committee in Grenada. Research ethics committees are charged with the ethical review of research protocols. They serve to protect people who volunteer as research subjects from harm or wrong that may result from participating in research. The Caribbean has a rich history of medical research involving human subjects. There is a growing will in the region to establish effective and sustainable research ethics committees that adhere to international standards. This paper examines uncertainties and questions that arose in starting a research ethics committee in Grenada, and describes how uncertainties were resolved. The questions centre on which guidelines to follow, who to appoint as members, what procedures to follow, and how to train members. An additional question relates to the role of a Ministry of Health in founding a research ethics committee. Resolution of these uncertainties shows that ethical review of research can be both effective and sustainable in the Caribbean.
