RNEC allows partial review of research protocols. Nonscientific reviewers, such as legal experts or lay members, focus on the informed consent materials, ethical considerations, participant-facing language, data collection tools, and other elements related to participants’ rights and protection. The Scientific Reviewer Assessment is used when external subject‑matter experts are engaged to evaluate a protocol that requires specialized scientific inputs.
R5 - Non-Scientific Reviewer Assessment
