The Regulatory Unit at the IDI guarantees that research studies adhere to all relevant regulations, global guidelines, and ethical standards. Comprising a team of five professionals, this unit plays a vital role in guiding researchers through intricate regulatory landscapes and keeping them informed of evolving regulation and guideline updates. This group focuses on ensuring Good Clinical Practice (GCP), thereby protecting participant rights and wellbeing, and preserving the credibility and dependability of study results.

On a daily basis, the Regulatory Unit relies upon its internal web-based platform, called the Regulatory Affairs Information System (RAIS), which issues time-sensitive notifications regarding the expiration periods of ethics and regulatory approvals to principal investigators, study coordinators, and the regulatory team itself. Additionally, RAIS serves as a repository for all studies hosted within the IDI and functions as a centralized location for storing critical study documentation.
