Description : BACKGROUND
In continuation of the recommendations made at the 2017 Asia Pacific Regional Meeting for National Ethics/Bioethics Committees (AP-NEC), MoHMS had worked with the Division of Pacific Technical Support of WHO (DPS) to evaluate thein-country ethics review process and relevant Research Ethics Committees (RECs) not only in the government but also in universities. The report made recommendations on review process in general and better use of the portal to optimize the whole process. The report also assessed the portal which has been developed and launched in 2013 with support of WHO. Since the portal was developed to support reviewers and administrators to process applications for research ethics, the report included issues with the function of the portal such as: limited access to the admin system; technical problems in distributing templates that have been accepted by the national review committee; limited functions to catalogue applications and search; limited displaying function to external audience of the portal; and other types of IT problems as it has been developed in 2013. In order to better support reviewers and administrators, it has been decided by MoHMS to fix technical problems and provide additional functions such as easy cataloguing and searching for external audience. Hence, this terms of reference recruits' IT specialist (or a team of specialists) to provide hands-on support for revising the Fiji health research portal.
