Every form, template and instruction you need to take a clinical research proposal from idea to ethics approval in Al Ain. All current THREC submission documents are mirrored here for download — pulled directly from the Health Research and Protection Programme (HRPP) and Department of Health (DoH) submission packs.
The forms below are the current versions as of the 2025 IRB cycle (V1 / V2 markings in the filenames). THREC may publish updated revisions during the year — if your submission is rejected for using an outdated form, contact the CMD-RPG chair below for the latest version.
Start here. Step-by-step guidance on how to prepare and submit a research proposal to the Tawam Hospital Research Ethics Committee (THREC) and the Department of Health (DoH).
The primary submission package. The IRB Form is required for every clinical research proposal; the SSOI Form establishes the investigator team and roles for funded observational and non-funded investigator-initiated studies.
Use the consent guidance documents as the structural template for your participant-facing information sheet and consent form. Both English and Arabic versions are provided — for any study recruiting Arabic-speaking participants, both must be prepared.
A signed COI disclosure is required from every investigator on the study team. Submit alongside the SSOI form.
