Within this framework, the article analyzes what it means to be part of a Research Ethics Committee in a hospital or university based on personal experience as a community representative. in some institutions, such committees also review scientific projects of non-pharmaceutical areas, Public Health and Health Economics. Research Ethics Committees have the responsibility to protect the participants involved in researches and to guarantee the ethical behavior of researchers. Results suggest patterned differences in demographics, recruitment strategies, training, and perceived qualifications between community members on these two types of boards with potential implications for how we perceive the scope of contributions that nonscientists can provide to the ethical review of research and the strategic ways these contributions can be elicited. This pilot study begins to fill in this lacuna by interviewing nonscientist members of IRBs and community members of CABs. In spite of these requirements, few have examined how different factors such as recruitment strategies, training, and different qualifications shape the contributions of nonscientists to the research enterprise. Governments, funders, and institutional policies increasingly encourage and even mandate the involvement of nonscientists in the ethical review of research, most famously in institutional review boards (IRBs), but also on community advisory boards (CABs) and other committees that contribute to research governance. Education aimed at non-specialist participation should therefore be considered in future studies. The results suggest that detailed explanation of a particular study would encourage non-specialist members to participate in a clinical research review committee. For perspectives on research ethics committees, 54 codes were established and sorted into 3 categories and 10 subcategories relating to the theme 'knowledge and an environment that promotes non-specialist members' participation.' One notable result was the willingness of participants to obtain details about a study should they be selected. This qualitative study was conducted in 2018 using a focus group interview of six non-specialists regarding perspectives on clinical research itself and research ethics committees.ДЇor perspectives on clinical research itself, 33 codes were established and sorted into 2 categories and 6 subcategories relating to ambivalence toward clinical research. This study was performed to determine representative key issues with which to promote these contributions. Additionally, involvement of non-specialists is mandatory, and attention is being placed on their effective contributions. In Japan, under the new Clinical Trials Act pertaining to investigator-initiated clinical trials that came into effect on 1 April 2018, review boards should review proposed clinical trials while considering written opinions from specialists. There is a need to define eligibility criteria and develop targeted training modules for community members to ensure their effective contribution to effective oversight of clinical research. Restricted participation by private hospital IRBs was a striking observation in our study. Although the majority of participants were aware about their role in an IRB, some did not review important documents such as ICDs. Twelve reported difficulties in understanding medical terminologies in ICDs. Twenty-eight said they participated actively in meetings and did not feel intimidated by the presence of clinicians.

Six participants said that they did not review informed consent documents (ICD), and 10 were unaware that their presence was vital for quorum to be met. All except one felt that community members were needed for optimal functioning. When questioned about why they joined the IRB, one third of the respondents said either that there was 'no specific reason' for joining or that they accepted the invitation to serve on the insistence of other members of the IRBs or the head of their institution.

Of the 56 IRBs contacted, all 15 of the public institutions shared details of their community members, while only 26 of the 41 IRBs of private institutions responded. The questions related to demography, perceptions of their role in the IRB, experiences while serving on the IRBs, difficulties faced by them, and suggestions to improve their contributions. A validated questionnaire (Cohen's kappa coefficient of 0.84) was administered to community members of IRBs in a prospective cross-sectional study. This study was conducted to assess perceptions of community members serving on IRBs of one region in India. The community representative plays a very important role in an institutional review board (IRB) but there is sparse data about their understanding of their role in an IRB.
