The National Council on Ethics in Human Research (NCEHR) was founded in 1989 to support the interpretation and implementation of ethical guidelines on research involving human subjects. Since its creation, NCEHR has served an advisory role to local institutional Research Ethics Boards (REBs), which assess the ethical acceptability of research with human subjects, and has generally sought to foster education, dialogue and understanding on research ethics. Council publications include a journal, NCEHR Communiqué, proceedings from national workshops, bibliographies and study papers.
