The UMCG plans to have all nWMO studies reviewed starting 2022. This ethical review is performed by the CTc (Centrale ethische Toetsingscommissie van het UMCG). Researchers are encouraged to submit their nWMO study for ethics review. If you want to submit you have to:

In the odd weeks, the CTc meets on Thursday morning. The agenda is closed on the Tuesday of the week before that. Studies are placed on the agenda in order of having been submitted. When submitting, take into account a preparation time that is required to place the study on the agenda. Therefore there is no guarantee that your study will be discussed at the next meeting.
A professor/medical doctor, an ethicist, a legal expert, participant perspective respresentative, a researcher, and a statistician/methodologist.

Applicable only if the study has been ethically reviewed bij another certified reviewing committee. Please note that we refer here to an ethical, in depth, review and not the 'geen WMO verklaring'. The latter is merely a legal statement that the study does not fall under the WMO law and not an ethical in depth review.
The focus of a local feasibility assessment is not the content of the study, but its local feasibility. For example:
Requesting local feasibility is done by submitting the nWMO study (in the usual way). Remember to include with your submission the approval letter from the recognized Medical-Ethical Review Committee and to indicate in your submission that it is a local feasibility assessment.
From 25 December 2023 to 5 January 2024, we will have a limited presence. As a result, studies will take longer to process. If you would like to submit a study to us this year, we encourage you to do so in a timely manner.
